Avizandum Statutes on Scots Public Law

Avizandum Statutes are designed specifically to provide undergraduates at Scottish universities with legislation and, where appropriate, other core materials in a readily accessible format. All materials have been selected on the basis of their relevance to university courses and appear in updated form. The lack of annotation and commentary means that the volumes are ideal for use in examinations.

Public law is an increasingly codified area, arguably more so in Scotland than the rest of the UK. This volume contains a wide-ranging selection of materials on constitutional and administrative law, human rights and civil liberties essential to the study of the subject.

Contents include key provisions from the following statutes:

Public Order Act 1986
Human Rights Act 1998
Scotland Act 1998 as amended
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Constitutional Reform Act 2005
Investigatory Powers Act 2016, Part 6
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 as amended

New material for this edition includes the Early Parliamentary Elections Act 2019, the Contingencies Fund Act 2020 and the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020.
