Unlike many jurisdictions, the United Kingdom lacks a codified constitution and a dedicated system of administrative courts. Instead, judicial review is exercised by the ordinary courts under the common law, guided by constitutional principles of parliamentary sovereignty, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. The foundational doctrines of UK administrative law have been developed incrementally through judicial decisions, with significant legislative intervention in the form of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.</p>
