Royal Law

Robert Craig

Robert Craig is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Bristol, UK.

This book argues that all non-statutory powers of the Crown are royal prerogative powers and asserts that the Crown does not possess or exercise any 'third source' powers, common law powers or 'Ram doctrine' style freedoms. Taking the definitions of royal prerogative powers presented by AV Dicey, Blackstone, Wade and Harris in turn the book argues that recent case law considering third source powers must be reconsidered as examples of judicial regulation of prerogative powers, including an often-overlooked prerogative power to administer the realm.
