Description and Table of Contents
Description
Constitutional and Administrative Law provides a comprehensive and very readable introduction to the basic legal principles of the UK constitution. Critical yet accessible, the book places the law in the context of the main political ideas which have influenced its development and discusses some of the most fundamental questions about government. New features of the fifth edition include coverage of the Constitutional Reform Bill, recent emergency and anti-terrorism legislation, expanded coverage of judicial review, and a new chapter on the separation of powers. In addition, new 'Key Notes' are included at the start of each chapter to identify important themes.
