Exploring the Law: Dynamics of Precedent & Statutory Interpretation (4ed)

Exploring the Lawtakes a unique approach to precedent and statutory interpretation which are considered in the context of self-contained case studies on selected topics of substantive law commonly taught in first year undergraduate programmes.

• Provides an initial overview of the principles of statutory interpretation and precedent, with extensive cross-referencing to their detailed consideration in case studies
• Uses case studies throughout to extract the principles of statutory interpretation and precedent from substantive law
• Examines the influence of the EU and the Human Rights Act 1998 on principles of statutory interpretation
• Provides students with guidance on further reading at the end of case study chapters
