The second edition of this sourcebook brings together a
comprehensive selection of the principal international, European
and domestic sources of environmental law, together with commentary
and extensive references to secondary sources (including relevant
websites). The new edition has been fully revised and extended to
include the major developments in this rapidly evolving area of
law. In particular, at the international level there is now
consideration of the Kyoto Protocol 1997, the Aarhus Convention
1998, the Basel Protocol 1999 and the Biosafety Protocol 2000. At
the European level, there is coverage of the changes introduced by
the Amsterdam Treaty; the 2000 Water Framework Directive; the new
Air Quality Directives; and the EC White Paper on Environmental
Liability. There is also discussion of the proposed Sixth
Environmental Action Programme. The domestic coverage includes
consideration of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999, the
Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the implementation of the
contaminated land regime, together with coverage of the new UK
waste strategy. The book now also includes extensive consideration
of the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on environmental law.
Recent case law is included throughout. This unique work will
provide an extremely valuable resource for all those studying,
teaching and working in the field of environmental law.
Landmark Cases in Public Law answers the need for an historical
examination of the leading cases in this field, an examination
which is largely absent from the standard textbooks and journal
articles of the day. Adopting a contextualised historical approach,
this collection of essays by leading specialists in the field
provides both an explanation of the importance and impact of the
chosen decisions, as well as doctrinal analysis. This approach
enables each author to throw light on the driving forces behind the
judicial outcomes, and shows how the final reasoning of the court
was ultimately as much dependent upon such human factors as the
attitudes, conduct, and personalities of the parties, their
witnesses, their counsel, and the judges, as the drive to seek
legal realignment with the political developments that were widely
perceived to be taking place. In this way, this form of analysis
provides an exposition of the true stories behind these landmark
cases in public law.

Until now the Crown has remained a somewhat elusive concept receiving surprisingly little attention from constitutional lawyers, considering it represents the legal and political structure of the state. During a period of political transformation in the UK, on the one hand being devolved (e.g. the Scottish Parliament) and on the other being absorbed into the European Union, this is a timely book which explores the central power of the state in its legal and political context. This book draws together a unique collection of essays written by experienced academics and practitioners that explores what the Crown is, or might be, in contemporary theory and practice and the critical issues relating to it.
