This is a collection of refereed journal articles on various topics
in the field of constitutional law. The papers contained in this
collection present the fruits of research in the field of
constitutional law, with an emphasis upon the Crown. The principal
line of papers presented consider the Crown as a theoretical
foundation for government. The starting point for this is an
exploration of the vexed question of the usurpation of government.
The papers then turn to a more detailed examination of the form of
the Crown. The first is a look at the law regulating the succession
to the Crown. The focus of the papers then turns from the position
of the Crown to its powers. In particular, the focus of a number of
papers is on the royal prerogative of honours. The papers then
begin a review of the contemporary constitutional position of
selected elements of the royal prerogative of honour and of
dignities law. The first paper is on the peerage. The next papers
discuss the on-going debate in heraldic circles in the Commonwealth
as to the respective heraldic jurisdictions. This relies heavily
upon arguments based on the way in which New Zealand acquired its
legal system from the United Kingdom. The collection concludes with
a series of papers on broader topics, including public policy in
relation to succession, the notaries profession, and copyright in
legislation. The aim of the collection is to bring together a
number of papers dealing with aspects, broad and narrow, of the
contemporary constitution.
