As I explain in the intro, Chapter 1 explores the various meanings behind the king can do no wrong, Chapter 2 covers the Middle Ages, Chapter 3 the constitutional struggles of the 17th century, and Chapter 4 features the usual suspects (eg Blackstone and Dicey) and others.

TLDR, or not interested in constitutional history: skip to Chapter 5 for a more mainstream public law scholarship on crown liability. Chapter 6 compares American, Irish, and Australian constitutional thought on state liability, sovereign immunity, and liability at common law.

My new paper in @EHRLR_Editor arguing that the essence of fundamental rights idea in EU law should be abandoned. The approach of UK courts to the essence concept is to be preferred. Paper comes out of a great workshop organised by @seana_g at @UCDLawSchool last year.
