This is a clear, comprehensive account of Scottish constitutional law within its UK and European context. It describes and analyses constitutional arrangements while integrating that analysis with a general background to constitutional law and the UK institutions which have a continuing relevance for the government of Scotland.

This highly regarded text considers law-making powers for Scotland, the legislative process at Westminster and at Holyrood, the accountability and scrutiny of government, the independence of the judiciary and the role of the courts in interpreting and adjudicating upon constitutional and administrative law questions.

The fifth edition includes coverage of:

- the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023
- the Illegal Migration Act 2023
- current proposals for a Scottish Bill of Rights
- a fuller treatment of the Equality Act 2010

The fifth edition will also cover the major developments in the UK Supreme Court jurisprudence, including the cases on Scottish Parliament competence on independence referendums and the Treaty Incorporation Bills.

Coverage will also include the First Ministerial succession of Nicola Sturgeon to Humza Yousaf, the multiple changes of UK Prime Ministers, and the impending UK general election and its outcome â" taking account of the abolition, since the last edition, of fixed-term Parliaments (by the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022) and its consequences.

Each chapter will now include a âmini contents listâ to which will greatly assist readers in their navigation of the (sometimes complex) material.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Scottish Law and Scots Law Student online services.
