Administrative and Regulatory Law

Cases about the powers, liability and procedural obligations of the administrative state: government liability for official acts, and the process by which an administrative or regulatory body orders, taxes or dissolves an organization. Belongs here: foundational state liability rulings and administrative-process rulings against organizations, even when the underlying dispute also touches a constitutional right. Does not belong here: a ruling whose central holding is the individual right at stake rather than the administrative process, grouped under constitutional rights and civil liberties instead.
