Constitutional and administrative law - Alex Carroll

Constitutional and Administrative Law provides an up-to-date, interesting and inquiring treatment of this wide-ranging and dynamic subject, and is designed to meet the needs of modular course structures. The essential aim of the book is to focus in some depth on the topics that comprise the core elements of the majority of constitutional and administrative law courses at undergraduate and Diploma level. Throughout the book, constitutional principles are discussed in the context of the various political, social and cultural factors that have shaped them, including recent political developments. The book is arranged into seven parts: (1) Fundamental Principles; (2) Parliament and the European Community; (3) The Composition and Workings of Parliament; (4) The Executive; (5) Judicial Review of Administrative Action; (6) Human Rights; (7) Tribunals, Inquiries and Complaints Procedures.This major new edition now fully incorporates recent constitutional reform, particularly the restructuring of government in the UK and reform of the House of Lords.;Recent case law and statutory developments relevant to the subject are fully dealt with, and many of the principles are explained with reference to particular judicial decisions. Care has been taken to select and concentrate on those cases that either illustrate those principles most clearly or exemplify instances of their most recent application. Part 6 of the book dealing with Civil Liberties and Human Rights has been completely rewritten to incorporate the wide-ranging impact of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Terrorism Act 2000 and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.Alex Carroll, MPhil, LLB, Cert.
