A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

This well-established text, now fully up-dated, provides an authoritative account of the public law of the United Kingdom, a dynamic and rapidly evolving area of study.

 

Written in a clear and accessible style, the book provides a detailed exposition and analysis of the principles of constitutional law, the institutions of government, the relationship between the individual and the state, and administrative law.

 

Constitutional and Administrative Law is the definitive volume on this challenging subject and remains the leading text recommended for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It is relied upon by lawyers, politicians, political scientists and public administrators in the UK and beyond.

 

This new edition has been reorganised and its scope revised to meet the needs of students and lecturers. Among the numerous developments in public law which it covers are:

 

• The creation of fixed-term parliaments, and other changes made by the Coalition government since 2010.
• The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 and the new legislation amending the law relating to terrorism.
• The European Union Act 2011, intended to increase parliamentary and popular control over decisions made in Brussels.
• The growing impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 in giving effect to decisions by the European Court of Human Rights.
• The evolving right to privacy in light of continuing intrusion by the police and media.
• Growth areas in judicial review challenges, such as proportionality and the public sector equality duty.
• Increased secrecy in the work of courts, with use of ‘closed material procedures’ under common law and the Justice and Security Act 2013.

 

‘Constitutional and Administrative Law is unmatched in its coverage of the UK’s constitution, past, present and future. The detail and insight into the UK’s constitutional arrangements make it essential reading for students and academics alike. The authors ensure that the reader is guided through the complex issues raised by extensive references to primary materials, constitutional theory and indications for further reading. Wholly recommended.’

 

Dr Paul James Cardwell, Reader at the School of Law, University of Sheffield
