About Constitutional and Administrative...
This second edition provides a contemporary and engaging account of the key topics in Constitutional and Administrative Law. Drawing on extensive teaching and research experience, Masterman and Murray cover the core syllabus while highlighting controversial issues and academic debates. The book has been fully updated with the latest developments, including a dedicated chapter on political freedoms and democratic participation, expanded coverage of civil liberties, a new section on police powers, and extensive analysis of the Brexit referendum decision and the European Union (Withdrawal Bill) 2017. It also discusses the implications of the 2017 general election, the Strathclyde proposals on House of Lords powers, the mooted British Bill of Rights, and significant cases such as Miller, R (Evans), HS2, and R (UNISON). This makes it an ideal textbook for anyone requiring a strong understanding of both black-letter principles and the wider socio-political context of UK constitutional arrangements.
