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. This sixth edition incorporates the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and the Government of Wales Act 2006, highlights important new case law on parliamentary supremacy, the rule of law and natural justice, and considers continuing judicial and legislative developments in relation to human rights, electoral and anti terrorism law.
