Abstract

Parliament and the Law (Second Edition) is an edited collection of essays, supported by the UK's Study of Parliament Group, including contributions by leading constitutional lawyers, political scientists and parliamentary officials. It provides a wide-ranging overview of the ways in which the law applies to, and impacts upon, the UK Parliament, and it considers how recent changes to the UK's constitutional arrangements have affected Parliament as an institution. It includes authoritative discussion of a number of issues of topical concern, such as: the operation of parliamentary privilege, the powers of Parliament's select committees, parliamentary scrutiny, devolution, English Votes for English Laws, Members' conduct and the governance of both Houses. It also contains chapters on financial scrutiny, parliamentary sovereignty, Parliament and human rights, and the administration of justice. Aimed mainly at legal academics, practitioners, and political scientists, it will also be of interest to anyone who is curious about the many fascinating ways in which the law interacts with and influences the work, the constitutional status and the procedural arrangements of the Westminster Parliament

Abstract

Le « phénomène constituant » est à comprendre comme un ensemble d’actes successifs ou simultanés qui sont à la fois des actes juridiques et des faits. Il est un processus complexe et composite qui se déclenche à partir de la fin d’un ordre constitutionnel donné et qui conduit, après une période dont la durée dépend des contextes historiques et politiques, à l’instauration d’un nouvel ordre constitutionnel. L’étude de la période se situant entre deux constitutions a souvent été délaissée par la doctrine constitutionnaliste. Une partie de celle-ci considère en effet que les périodes de transition constitutionnelle ne sont qu’une succession de décisions politiques dont la valeur juridique ne pourra qu’être confirmée ou infirmée ex post, une fois la nouvelle constitution adoptée et le nouvel ordre juridique établi. Mais si la transition entre deux ordres juridiques est une période exceptionnelle, dans laquelle les faits politiques et sociaux s’articulent aux faits juridiques, le nouvel ordre constitutionnel qui s’ensuit est alors le reflet de ces faits, des équilibres qui en sont issus, souvent formalisés par des actes juridiques pré-constituants. Pour décrire et expliquer ce phénomène complexe, le constitutionnaliste a alors besoin de s’appuyer sur les analyses des autres disciplines pour comprendre les multiples éléments qui participent à ce processus. Cette journée de réflexion se propose ainsi d’instaurer un dialogue interdisciplinaire sur le phénomène constituant entre les juristes constitutionnalistes et les représentants d’autres sciences humaines et sociales. Les perspectives de l’histoire, de la science politique, de la sociologie, de la psychanalyse ou encore de l’économie permettront d’apporter des éclairages nouveaux sur cet objet juridique mal identifié.

Abstract

Outside the United States, Norway's 1814 constitution is the oldest still in force. Constitutional judicial review has been a part of Norwegian court decision-making for most of these 200 years. Since the 1990s, Norway has also exercised review under the European Convention of Human Rights. Judicial review of legislation can be controversial: having unelected judges overruling popularly elected majorities seems undemocratic. Yet Norway remains one of the most democratic countries in the world. How does Norway manage the balance between democracy and judicial oversight? Author Anine Kierulf tells the story of Norwegian constitutionalism from 1814 until today through the lens of judicial review debates and cases. This study adds important insights into the social and political justifications for an active judicial review component in a constitutional democracy. Anine Kierulf argues that the Norwegian model of judicial review provides a useful perspective on the dichotomy of American and European constitutionalism.

Abstract

Analysis of case law from the US, Germany, South Africa, Canada, Israel, and the ECtHR forms the basis of Tripkovic's exploration of constitutional adjudication from an antirealist standpoint. This highly original work identifies the salient value-based arguments in constitutional practice and exposes the implicit assumptions that lie therein.

Abstract

"This exhaustively researched and deftly written book offers a first-hand view of the inner workings of the Canadian federal government, with a particular focus on the interplay between the Prime Minister's Office, the Privy Council Office, the federal cabinet, and the role backbench MPs, and parliamentary committees. Brodie argues that the various workings of the PMO, PCO, the cabinet, parliamentary committees, and the role of backbench MPs puts a lie to the proposition that the prime minister has evolved into the role of a dictator of sorts with unchecked control over the levers of political power. He offers a much-needed corrective to the dominant thinking that a Canadian prime minister holds power without limits, approaching unchecked domination over party, caucus, cabinet, Parliament, the public service, and the policy agenda. In Brodie's view, the prime minister is not a tyrant. There are effective checks on executive power. The golden age of Parliament and the backbencher is probably now. The author's contribution is that of a former insider, someone who worked at the centre and witnessed the circumstances, many of them institutional in character, that constrain the prime minister. The book calls for sober second thought about many of the proposals for reform."--

Abstract

The mediation of the balance between vigilance and restraint is a fundamental feature of judicial review of administrative action in the Anglo-Commonwealth. This balance is realised through the modulation of the depth of scrutiny when reviewing the decisions of ministers, public bodies and officials. While variability is ubiquitous, it takes different shapes and forms. Dean R. Knight explores the main shapes and forms employed in judicial review in England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand over the last fifty years. Four schemata are drawn from the case law and taken back to conceptual foundations, exposing their commonality and differences, and each approach is evaluated. This detailed methodology provides a sound basis for decisions and debates about how variability should be brought to individual cases and will be of great value to legal scholars, judges and practitioners interested in judicial review.
