Synopsis

Michael Zander presents a comprehensive analysis of the law-making process in England and Wales. The eighth edition has been revised in the light of Brexit and other significant developments and provides detailed coverage of the preparation of legislation; its passage through Parliament; statutory interpretation; binding precedent; how precedent works; law reporting; the nature of the judicial role; European Union law post-Brexit; and the process of law reform. Dealing with the broad sweep of the subject and with all its detailed ramifications, the book presents a wide range of materials which are well chosen, well grouped and which are enlivened by critical comment.
