This sixth edition incorporates the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and the Government of Wales Act 2006, highlights important new case law on parliamentary supremacy, the rule of law and natural justice, and considers continuing judicial and legislative developments in relation to human rights, electoral and anti terrorism law.
