Constitutional and Administrative Law in New Zealand (3rd edition) is an essential reference for law students, legal practitioners, in-house counsel and public sector advisors. This edition represents a thorough revision of materials that explicate developments since 2001, when the second edition was published. It covers the entire range of subjects that map modern public law. This edition continues the high scholarly standards, ease of reference and readability of the previous editions.      

This new edition contains:

  • A new chapter on the courts organised hierarchically under the new Supreme Court;
  • Examination of the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and use of the construct “collaborative enterprise” to depict the political-judicial relationship;
  • The rise of the rhetorical concept of the rule of law as a touchstone of constitutional legitimacy;
  • The development of a transnational language of human rights in the common law jurisdictions;
  • The extension of New Zealand’s human rights apparatus to the public sector;
  • Examination of the effects of MMP politics on executive government; and
  • The on-going refinement of administrative law principles applied in the New Zealand courts.
