If you're involved in drafting or amending legislation in the Commonwealth, the EU or beyond, you need a guide that will help you with both the traditional and modern techniques of drafting good quality statutory law.
Thornton's Legislative Drafting is recognised as the leading professional title in this area, used and referred to by legal officers and drafters internationally.
Completely refreshed and updated, the new sixth edition includes full coverage of contemporary drafting developments and advances.
Fully updated and alongside the detailed, learned and professional guidance and examples of best, and bad, practice, the new 6th edition includes new chapters on:
- Legislation as a Tool for Regulation
- Transposition of EU Legislation
- Pre- and post-legislative scrutiny: the lifecycle of legislation
Thornton's Legislative Drafting helps the reader to:
- Identify the aim of legislation as one of the regulatory tools
- Align their concept of legislative quality with that of effectiveness of legislation
- Use effectiveness as the criterion for resolving drafting dilemmas
- Apply the effectiveness doctrine to all aspects of legislative drafting
- Earn exposure to examples of best and bad practice drawn from a plethora of jurisdictions
- Earn awareness of best practice in aspects of legislative drafting worldwide
- Understand the "why" behind legislative conventions, thus becoming equipped with the tools for their application in practice.

Recenzii
...the uber-manual of all legislative drafting manuals...Like all legislative drafters around the
world, I love Thornton's Legislative Drafting both in its earlier editions and its new editions, and
I will always regard it as an invaluable tool for those who wish to think more about the choices
that they make in their everyday drafting activities. It is an essential work for which the legislative
drafting community remains constantly grateful.
The 6th edition of a legal text is in itself a tribute to its durability and usefulness. In the over 50 years since G.C. Thornton published his 1st edition in 1970, his book has stood the test of time . Under the direction of Professor Xanthaki, the 5th and now 6th editions . have continued to pursue Thornton's original objective of providing practical guidance to those engaged in drafting legislation.
