Constitutional and Administrative Law: A Concise Introduction to Public Authority and Administrative Justice

By: Wallace, Rebecca

Constitutional and administrative law provides the legal framework that structures public authority, regulates decision making, and ensures that government acts within the rule of law. From legislation and judicial review to human rights and administrative justice, it defines the limits of state power in modern England.

This book offers a clear, systematic, and accessible guide to English public law, covering the foundations of public power, legislation, judicial review, procedural fairness, tribunals, ombudsmen, equality, and human rights protection. It also explains both the principles and the practical operation of the law. Leading cases and key statutes are carefully integrated into a coherent structure so that readers can see not only what the rules are, but how they fit together.

Written with clarity in mind, the book assumes no prior knowledge. Complex doctrines are broken down into logical steps, making the subject approachable for beginners while remaining rigorous enough for serious academic study. The focus is on understanding rather than memorisation, helping you build confidence in analysing problems and applying legal principles.

A practical and dependable introduction to the structure and limits of government authority, this book is ideal for law students and anyone seeking a reliable introduction or refresher, providing everything you need to grasp the structure and limits of government authority in modern England.
