Act of State in English Law examines how crown power and international treaties shape English law. This rigorous study explains how treaties are executed, how they interact with domestic rights, and where courts can or cannot intervene in treaty matters. It guides readers through the evolution from seventeenth‑century ideas to modern practice.
With careful analysis of key cases and legal arguments, the book clarifies the limits of royal prerogative, the role of Parliament in treaty execution, and the impact of treaties on private rights and municipal law. It also highlights distinctions between cession and conquest, and between property, personal obligations, and public acts in international affairs.
Ideal for readers of constitutional law, international law, and English legal history seeking a clear, structured view of how the Crown’s treaties interact with the courts and private rights.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the multifaceted role of "matter of state," events and affairs occurring in the realm of international or governmental relations, and their impact on municipal law. The author traces the historical evolution of this doctrine, exploring its origins in 17th-century England and its subsequent development in modern jurisprudence. The author argues that, despite the decline of the absolute prerogative of the Crown, matter of state continues to occupy a significant place in legal systems. Through an analysis of case law and historical examples, the book identifies the circumstances in which the defense of "act of state" may be invoked and examines the implications of this defense for the protection of individual rights and the rule of law. The book also delves into the complex relationship between matter of state and such issues as the recognition of foreign governments, the status of foreign sovereigns, and the conduct of war. The author argues that, while international law may provide some guidance, the primary responsibility for determining the existence and scope of matter of state lies with each individual state's political and judicial authorities. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and nuanced account of the doctrine of matter of state, shedding light on its historical origins, its modern manifestations, and its impact on the relationship between law and politics.
