Description
Public Law is an ideal choice for all undergraduate and GDL students looking for a comprehensive yet accessible textbook on this area of law. The author's clear writing style, plentiful explanations and focus on modern case law demystify difficult concepts and help to bring the subject to life.
Public Law covers the key institutions, concepts and legal rules in the United Kingdom constitutional system. It explores the administrative justice system, including judicial review, and the protection of human rights. Its central theme is the notion of State power and the relationship between the State and the citizen.
