The concept of the prerogative is still a source of mystery to most observers; this book demystifies it. It clarifies the respective roles of government, Parliament and the courts, in defining the extent of prerogative powers, and regulating their use in specific cases, and looks at the powers which should be codified in statute and which should be regulated by convention, and which could be left at large.
