Overview

Written by two leading practitioners, this text provides a comprehensive and systematic treatment of human rights law and practice in the UK. It offers detailed analysis of the effects of incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998, including an examination of the wider impact of the new regime upon the civil and criminal law more generally. It draws systematically upon European Convention case-law, common law principles and practice, experience from Canada, New Zealand and other jurisdictions, as well as detailed analysis of the Act itself, to provide guidance on how the law is working in practice, while the annual supplements track the case-law as it is actually decided. The first section deals with the nature of rights, problems of incorporation, the impact of the Convention prior to incorporation and the interpretation of human rights instruments.
