Constitutional and Administrative Law
By
Neil Parpworth,,
Description
Constitutional and
Administrative Law continues to be chosen by undergraduates for its
clear writing style and the way in which the author expertly guides
the reader through the principles of public law. This fourth edition
addresses the implications of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005,
provides coverage of the House of Lords decision in A v Secretary of
State for the Home Department in the context of the rule of law and
the relationship between the courts and the executive, covers the
postscript of the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005, and discusses the
recent unsuccessful challenge to the validity of the Hunting Act 2004
and the Parliament Act 1949 in Jackson.
