Law, Liberty, and Justice [electronic resource]: The Legal Foundations of British Constitutionalism

License restrictions may limit access.

Annotation 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.
