In 1762 the Earl of Halifax, one of His Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State, despatched Nathan Carrington and three other of the King's messengers to John Entick's house in Stepney. They broke into his house, seizing his papers and causing significant damage. Why? Because he was said to have written seditious papers published in the\u003ci\u003e Monitor\u003c\/i\u003e. Entick sued Carrington and the other messengers for trespass. The defendants argued that the Earl of Halifax had given them legal authority to act as they had. Lord Camden ruled firmly in Entick's favour, holding that the warrant of a Secretary of State could not render lawful actions such as these which were otherwise unlawful. \u003cbr\u003eThe case is a canonical statement of the common law's commitment to the constitutional principle of the rule of law. In this collection, leading public lawyers reflect on the history of the case, the enduring importance of the legal principles for which it stands, and the broader implications of \u003ci\u003eEntick v Carrington\u003c\/i\u003e 250 years on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Tomkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849465584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849465588\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Adam Tomkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126511563007,"sku":"9781849465588","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43cfcc0d-ca1a-4215-abf2-44c31b969527.jpg?v=1687448610","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/entick-v-carrington-adam-tomkins-9781849465588","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
