Howard Davis looks at how the presence of political motives, when balanced against other motives, affects the legal character of the action, and asks why common law and statute should differentiate the political from the nonpolitical. An original and important contribution to the debate on the nature of an effective democracy and the legal rules necessary to establish and sustain it.
Howard Davis is Head of Academic Law at Southampton Institute.
