Reviews

Mark Elliott and Kirsty Hughes have done a marvellous job as editors, both in framing the book’s agenda and then, having recruited first class contributors, allowing them to speak for themselves … All the chapters in this book are to be recommended: their capacity to enlighten ranges well beyond the immediate remit into the much wider fields of constitutional and administrative law (and even a little bit of philosophy). -- Conor Gearty * Modern Law Review * In a time where the Human Rights Act remains under threat from a hostile government, it is right that we take seriously the judiciary’s suggestion that the common law can provide the necessary protection of fundamental liberties. While this volume appears sceptical about the law’s current ability to do so, each and every essay is a valuable contribution to this debate, which one suspects will continue to rage on for some time. -- David Blair * Edinburgh Law Review *
