'. fascinating book . provides a refreshingly new perspective . this is a highly readable and very useful book, which is accessible to EU and public law specialists alike, as well as to students.'Modern Law Review'Nicol handles the story in a scholarly, but eminently readable way . this book ought to be a mandatory reading not just for lawyers and academics concerned with constitutional issues, but - as it provides the analysis of the constitutionalisation of the English judiciary and the self-delusion of Parliament - it ought also to be for politicians, civil servants and, as Private Eye would say, reptiles.'The Journal of Legislative Studies'Danny Nicol has produced an eminently readable book. Most important of all the book maps, for the first time, the remarkable translation of the position of the English Scottish and Northern Irish judges, since the 1972 legislation, towards the centre of British politics.

'The Journal of Legislative Studies'. this book is clearly written and makes a number of very interesting arguments. As a stimulus to debate, it would be a useful addition to the reading list of students studying domestic or EU constitutional law . the chapter on "The Human Rights Comparison" is comprehensive in its coverage of the debate concerning the enactment of the HRA, with particular reference to the impact of the experience of Community law . this is a well researched andwritten book, with much to stimulate argument.'Nottingham Law Journal, Vol 11 (1), 2002.
