The development of an autonomous English public law has been accompanied by persistent problemsa lack of systematic principles, dissatisfaction with judicial procedures, and uncertainty about the judicial role. It has provoked an ongoing debate on the very desirability of the distinction between public and private law. In this debate, an historical and comparative perspective has been lacking. A Continental Distinction in the Common Law introduces such a perspective. It compares the recent emergance of a significant English distinction with the entranchment of the traditional French distinction. It explains how persistent problems of English public law are related to fundamental differences between the English and French legal and political traditions, differences in their conception of the state administration, their approach to law, their separation of powers, and their judicial procedures in publiclaw cases. The author argues that a satisfactory distinction between public and private law depends on a particular legal and political context, a context which was evident in latenineteenthcentury France and is absent in twentiethcentury England. He concludes by identifying the farreaching theoretical, institutional, and procedural changes required to accommodate English public law.
