520			_a"Prompted by the events following the 2016 referendum on EU membership and written by one of the leading public lawyers of our day, this book considers the rule of law and separation of powers by examining the relations between the different branches, and the mechanisms of accountability within our democracy. Since the referendum, attention has refocused on the relationship and respective powers and competences of the three branches of the state: the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. They have also placed strains on our unwritten constitution that have been unknown in modern times. The role of the courts and of the rule of law has been dramatically illustrated by recent litigation, most notably the decisions on whether legislation was needed to serve notice of the UK's intention to leave the EU and whether the prorogation of the Westminster Parliament in 2019 was a matter for the courts as opposed to a political question for government. It has also been highlighted by the debate about the rules and guidelines presented as rules made to deal with COVID-19. Set against this backdrop, the book answers the following questions: - How accessible is the law and how does it avoid arbitrariness? - How is access to justice protected? - How does our constitution reflect the separation of powers and the balance of responsibilities between law and politics? - How does our democracy enable majorities and protect minorities?"-- _cProvided by publisher.
