"""Wheatle and O'Loughlin make a fantastic contribution to public law through this excellent volume. It is timely and relevant, bringing a much-needed fresh perspective to the field, and it is essential reading for students and scholars alike.""

It is a collection that any public law scholar should confront but is a must-read for any public law teacher who is serious about offering students a critical understanding of UK public law development and practice."" Hélène Tyrrell, Newcastle University ""A much-needed correction to the dominant narratives of stability and progress that pervade public law in the United Kingdom. If ever a subject needed diverse voices, public law is it."" Alan Greene, Birmingham Law School"
