Opis

In a fresh appraisal of the fundamental doctrines of constitutional law, Trevor Allan examines the nature of the rule of law and the separation of powers. He refutes the traditional doctrine of unlimited parliamentary sovereignty, challenges the orthodox distinction between law and convention, and considers the character of common law rights and the nature and purpose of judicial review of administrative action. This book will be of interest to constitutional lawyers, legal and political theorists, and political scientists.

Recenzje

Scholarly analysis of the fundamental legal doctrines of the British constitution ... highly contemporary in reflecting sophisticated recent restatements of liberal legal philosophy ... his efforts to tease out the implications for liberal constitutional thought of a wide range of public law doctrines deserves respect.
