3rd Edition by Nicholas Grier

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. Its aim is to provide an authoritative account of both the new Scottish constitution and the contemporary governance of Scotland. It also charts the long march towards ‘accountable’ government in Scotland. 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.

The Rt Hon Lord Gill

The Scottish Law of Debt has been substantially updated since the 2nd edition of Wilson on Debt in 1991. It now takes account of the many changes in the law relating to personal and corporate insolvency over the last few years. These have resulted in many new procedures for sequestration and new opportunities for corporate rescue. Diligence has also seen many changes, with many old diligences, such as poinding, being swept away and new ones, such as money attachment, with complex new procedures, replacing them.
