Description
This book presents a critical, in-depth analysis of the law-making process.
Now in its 9th edition, this leading textbook presents a complete overview of the law-making procedure in the UK. Written by Michael Zander KC, one of the foremost authorities on the workings of the legal system, it combines critical and clear commentary with a well-chosen and wide-ranging selection of materials so that students have at their fingertips everything they need to know about the law-making process.
Dealing with every stage and all forms of law-making, it looks at:
- the preparation of legislation;
- its passage through Parliament;
- statutory interpretation;
- the operation of the rules of precedent in judicial decision-making;
- the many facets of judicial law-making; and
- the machinery of law reform.
The 9th edition has been updated to include the latest information and commentary about government action, case law, legislation, official reports and a great range of legal and political journals. It provides extensive coverage of the law-making process post-Brexit and analysis of the changing character of the Supreme Court.
