Three short words encompass the most fundamental principle of our constitution. “Rule of law” is a phrase which sustains a very heavy load. The words are simple. The concept is complex and multifaceted, and frequently deployed in argument. Yet critical earlier questions are not attended to and very rarely addressed. Where does the law which rules us come from? Who or what makes it? And by what process is it made? During my own professional life the law has changed dramatically; so indeed has the constitution itself. The momentum for further change is inevitable and the need to focus on these unanswered questions undiminished.
Timely & illuminating
This new edition of the important analysis of The Law-making Process by Professor Michael Zander is timely. Since the last edition a full decade of evolutionary change in the constitution and the process by which the law is made has hit us, and its impact requires re-evaluation
