2 - Separation of Powers

Source: Core Text Series on Constitutional and Administrative Law

The summary of this chapter is as under:

1) Meaning and importance of separation powers - L'Esprit des Lois, is there a separation of powers in the UK? (strict answer is No because there are significant overlaps particularly between legislature and executive)

2) Recent reforms made in the UK including the role of lord Chancellor and setting up of the Supreme Court

Contrast the position in the UK with other countries particularly the US in order to understand the real dimension of this concept.
