The doctrine of substantive legitimate expectation is rooted in administrative law. Initiated in United Kingdom, it is originally intended to provide relief for claimants who suffered public wrong, but who may not have any legal claim procedurally or substantively under the main administrative or public law principles. Basically, by the principles in promissory estoppel, a public authority will not be allowed by rescind its promise if a suspecting member of society relies on such a promise to alter his position. This paper analyses the genesis of legitimate expectation in its both substantive and procedural forms in view of a number of cases decided by English courts.

Keywords: administrative law, expectations, public authority, public body, rule of law.
