About this title

Synopsis:

Filling a need for a case and materials book on constitutional and administrative law, this textbook reflects the latest thinking particularly in relation to the European Communities. It is made up of notes and questions for discussion as well as cases and materials. It looks at the area of rights and liberties in the light of the recent legislation and examines developments in administrative law with particular emphasis on the means provided for citizens to seek redress of their grievances. The wide range of cases, articles and writings included will mean that the book can either be used alone or in tandem with a textbook on the subject.
