The Continuity of Legal Systems in Theory and Practice
examines a persistent and fascinating question about the continuity of legal
systems: when is a legal system existing at one time the same legal system that
exists at another time?
The book's distinctive approach to this question is to
combine abstract critical analysis of two of the most developed theories of
legal systems, those of Hans Kelsen and Joseph Raz, with an evaluation of their
capacity, in practice, to explain the facts, attitudes and normative standards
for which they purport to account. That evaluation is undertaken by reference
to Australian constitutional law and history, whose diverse and complex phenomena
make it particularly apt for evaluating the theories’ explanatory power.
In testing whether the depiction of Australian law
presented by each theory achieves an adequate ‘fit’ with historical facts, the
book also contributes to the understanding of Australian law and legal systems
between 1788 and 2001. By collating the relevant Australian materials
systematically for the first time, it presents the case for reconceptualising
the role of Imperial laws and institutions during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, and clarifies the interrelationship between Colonial,
State, Commonwealth and Imperial legal systems both before and after Federation.
Benjamin Spagnolo is the Penningtons
Student (Fellow) and Tutor in Law at Christ Church, Oxford.
