Description
This comprehensive textbook provides an introduction to English law and its rules. It explains how rules are made, interpreted, and applied, using examples to illustrate key concepts.
The authors simplify legal method by combining analysis of specific rules with general principles, covering the context, factors that give rise to doubts about interpretation, and a systematic approach to resolving these issues.
With its updated content on legislative processes and judicial interpretations, this book is an ideal resource for those new to English law. The accompanying website offers additional questions and exercises to help develop skills in reading, interpreting, and arguing about legal rules.
