Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) McCawley and Trethowan - The Chaos of Politics and the Integrity of Law - Volume 1: McCawley by Ian Loveland
This 2-volume work offers a detailed exploration and analysis of 2 Australian entrenchment cases which have long been a source of fascination and inspiration to lawyers. This 1st volume focusing on the iMcCawley /icase introduces non-Australian readers to the rich legal and political history of constitutional formation and development in New South Wales and Queensland in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It culminates with a deeply contextualised analysis of the emergence of the bizarre ‘Two Act entrenchment’ principle which emerged in Queensland’s constitutional law in 1908 and the subsequent iMcCawley /ijudgments of the Australian High Court and Privy Council.
