Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Constitutional and administrative law deals with government and administration, and with the citizen's civil liberties. This book covers the major areas of this body of law, and is therefore suitable for law degree courses and for the Common Professional Examination. In addition to explaining the current legal materials and proposals for reform, attention is also paid to the context within which the law operates, thereby helping students to understand this fundamentally important part of the legal system. This edition has been thoroughly revised throughout, and now covers the devolution initiatives of the new Labour government, developments concerning standards in public life, the Scott Report and its impact on ministerial accountability and public interest immunity, and progress towards reform and enlargement of the European Union.
Bibliography: (pages 472-492) and index.
