NEW LEGAL BOOKS FOR 2014 FROM W. GREEN

DUNDAS AND BARTOS ON THE ARBITRATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2010 2ND EDITION Hew Dundas and David Bartos were involved in the drafting of the 2010 Act which completely revolutionised arbitration in Scotland and were the first to provide real insight into its workings with their annotated version of the Act which published on the very day the Act went into force.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW Alan Page Publishing in the Scottish Universities Law Institute series this is the most in-depth Scottish treatment of Constitutional law.

A very different book from its predecessor in this series, J D B Mitchell’s Constitutional Law, which was first published almost fifty years ago.

After exploring the new Scottish constitution as set out in the Scotland and the Human Rights Act, it examines the separate Scottish, United Kingdom and European dimensions of the contemporary governance of Scotland.
