Description
Book SynopsisThis work draws together a collection of essays written by experienced academics and practitioners that explores what the Crown is, or might be, in contemporary theory and practice and the critical issues relating to it.
Trade ReviewThis study of 'the Crown' is major, accurate and exhaustive. It is a credit to the Oxford University Press. The leading academic constitutional lawyers of our time have each contributed to a chapter looking at the theory of 'the Crown' historically, philosophically and legally. Their collective learning is immense, and is deployed without pity. * Contemporary Review, January 2000 *
This is a refreshing book, which grapples with basic priciples and presents a wide range of reflections about the nature of the Crown... will help to clarify our understanding of the place of the Crown in the modern system of government. * Colin Turpin, The Cambridge Law Journal *
