Ecclesiastical Law

Ecclesiastical Law has established itself as the leading authority on the laws of the Church of England. Offering a uniquely detailed and scholarly exposition of the law, it has become an essential reference for anyone with a professional interest in ecclesiastical and canon law. The fourth edition has been fully revised and updated to take account of significant changes in the substantive law, specifically: the effects of the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure 2018, and the overhaul of the procedure in the Consistory Court in consequence of the Faculty Jurisdiction Rules 2015, substantial repeals in the Statute Law (Repeals) Measure 2018 and the new procedure under the Legislative Reform Measure 2018, the effect of the House of Bishops'Declaration on the Ministry of Bishops and Priests concerning provision for traditionalists, and the role of the Independent Reviewer under the Priests (Resolution of Disputes Procedure) Regulations 2014. Ecclesiastical Law offers insightful commentary, thoughtful analysis, and a wealth of materials to the practitioner and student alike. Materials include: the Canons of the Church of England, together with the Measures and Rules (updated to 2018) regulating the faculty jurisdiction and clergy discipline.
