内容説明

There is a very real need today for people to know how to approach an understanding of the numerous Acts of Parliament and other forms of legislation, including European Legislation. Neither an Act of Parliament nor European Regulations, decisions or directives can be read without reference to the special rules of interpretation that have evolved and which govern this and indeed govern legislation in all the other forms that it takes today.
