It focuses on the core elements and contexts of discretion, looking at the power, ability, authority and duties of individuals, officials and organisations to decide, select or interpret vague standards, requirements or statutory uncertainties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Loraine Gelsthorpe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903240999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903240991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Willan Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Loraine Gelsthorpe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202602156287,"sku":"9781903240991","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42d44270-c863-4dd1-89b2-8a63563bb37d.jpg?v=1756832835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exercising-discretion-loraine-gelsthorpe-9781903240991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
