Abstract
It is still the case today that the most sustained attempt to understand judicial review for jurisdictional error as a legal phenomenon occurred in a series of articles, starting in the 1920s and finishing in the 1970s, by D. M. Gordon, a lawyer who practised in British Columbia. By legal phenomenon, I mean an attempt to understand such review within a coherent account of the rule of law. For it is easy to understand the political and other rationales for delegating authority to officials to implement public programmes – rationales to do with complexity, efficiency, and expertise. It is also easy to understand the reasons why governments think it necessary to protect public officials from the kind of judicial meddling which undermines the delivery of the statutory programmes the officials are charged with administering. In chapter 2, I discussed one of the main vehicles for protection, the privative clause which tells judges to refrain from review.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
