Q&A Constitutional & Administrative Law 2007-2008 Summary

Q&A Constitutional & Administrative Law 2007-2008 by Helen Fenwick

Part of the successful Routledge-Cavendish Q&A series, which provides students with essential advice and guidance for essay and exam success, Q&A Administrative Law 2007-2008 has been fully updated and revised to incorporate developments in public law since the publication of the previous edition.

Covering the main topics of constitutional and administrative law, the authors examine the radical programme of constitutional reform introduced by the Labour government since 1997 and explore its impact over the last ten years. The book gives clear examples of how to answer questions on all the main topics examined, including:

  • devolution
  • the Human Rights Act and the key cases decided under it
  • the A-G v Jackson decision on the Parliament Acts
  • the core areas of police powers, including the very significant changes made by the Serious and Organized crime Act 2005 and recent anti-terrorism legislation
  • new case-law in the area of public order and freedom of expression
  • the Constitutional Reform Act 2005
  • possible reform of the Royal Prerogative, following the Iraq war
  • recent judicial review cases on the prerogative
  • the contemporary application of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Ministerial responsibility
  • the recent Shayler litigation under the Official Secrets Act
  • plans for reform of the house of Lords and proposed reforms to the Ombudsmen system.

An excellent revision and practice guide, with full coverage of recent important judicial review cases, this book gives students an important insight into exactly what examiners are looking for in an answer.
