In constrast to GreenLight theories of administrative
law, `green light' theories take a narrow, judge-centred view of
the role of administrative law. They are centred on the assumption
that the state is at odds with the individual, and that the
courts must protect the individual from the exercise of
arbitrary power. Red light theories derive, in part at least,
from the Diceyan view of Parliamentary sovereignty. They suggest
that administrative actions should continually be help up to scrutiny
against the powers allocated by Parliament by the administrator.
