"Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in New Zealand provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure." --Publisher's website.
