Lord Sumption's opinion is always worth listening to, even - or especially - if one disagrees with it.' Daily Telegraph'Time spent on Law in a Time of Crisis is time spent in the company of a brilliant mind considering interesting things' The TimesBrexit, the independence referendum, the pandemic: the UK is a country in crisis. And, in crises, we turn to the law to set the boundaries of what the government can and should do. However, in a country with no written constitution, what sounds like a simple proposition is in fact anything but.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on his 2019 Reith lectures, former Supreme Court Judge Jonathan Sumption asks: what are the limits of law in politics? Is not having a constitution a hindrance or help in times of crisis? From referenda to the rise of nationalisms, Law in a Time of Crisis exposes the uses and abuses of legal intervention in British crises - past, present, and potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sumption, Jonathan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54897411654010,"sku":"9781788167123","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781788167123.jpg?v=1734528861","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/products\/law-in-a-time-of-crisis-9781788167123","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
