There are comparisons with other jurisdictions, such as the United States. The book has been thoroughly revised, updated and restructured. It incorporates important constitutional developments such as devolution and the Human Rights Act, and changes in the administrative system, as well as a detailed consideration of the recent case law. It includes an expanded discussion of the administrative system which considers the many significant changes introduced by the present government. The discussion of judicial review and remedies has been significantly modified and extended to take account of new case law.
