Summary
"The overall theme of the book is the relationship or tension between constitutional principles - fairness, reason and the presumption of liberty - and the democratic assembly's - the Parliament - right to vote the legislation of its choice. The point is important; it moulds our constitution and thus affects the way law is made and administered. The tension is generally eased by the deployment of statutory construction which brings these elements together in a coherent whole"-- Provided by publisher.
