The essence of public law, State law, or more commonly known as administrative law in the Constitutional Monarchy of Aquitayne encompasses many aspects of the Legal System in Aquitayne. Unlike many nations, Administrative Law encompasses not only the overseeing of governmental agencies, ministries, magistrates and officials, but it also governs all civil cases. Though civil cases and cases against the state are handled in two separate courts (the former being the Civil Courts and the latter the Courts of the Crown), the ultimate premise governing the judicial practice of both these circuits falls under administrative law.
Administrative Law on Government
In Aquitayne, there are many governmental agencies, organizations and officials that are overseen by the Courts of the Crown. These courts take on two primary roles: the first is checks and balances on other governmental agencies and officials to ensure corruption is not found within government; the second primary role of the courts is to hear cases raised by the public against the government for infringement of rights, property, or any other civil matter that does not need to be handled by the criminal courts.
The Courts of the Crown are the only circuit of courts that hear cases that fall under administrative law. While the Civil Courts also hear matters of administrative law, they are not matters that pertain to the State and as such do not fall under the same regulatory guidelines as these are matters that have been raised by the public against the public; that is to say from one private citizen to another private citizen.
The Courts of the Crown were not always present, however. It wasn't until Ogden v Aquitayne in 1925 that the Courts of the Crown were established. The case rested on the premise that the government could not be held accountable for its actions as there was no system of courts to hear cases regarding the legality and practicality of government actions. Mr.Ogden had been subject to a failed judicial process as the government had seized over half of his farmland and built military posts on the land without compensating him, and he filed suit.
