It mainly deals with the legal foundations of the institutional hierarchy through which the state is governed.

Administrative Law on the other hand is more concerned with the work of official agencies in providing services and in regulating the activities of citizens.

The main sources include legislation, judicial decisionsm, The Laws and Custom of Parliament, European Union Law, constitutional law and International Law. Legislative sources include statutes, bill of rights, Magna Carta, Acts of parliament among several others.

Laws and customs of parliament are made by the powers vested in those in parliament following decisions by those who sit in parliament.
