Description
As is well known, the Human Rights Act 1998 is a constitutional innovation, but can its scheme deliver This provocative book probes the extent to which the HRA is guaranteeing rights and whether it is transforming the legal landscape. A companion text to "Understanding Human Rights Principles", the book is the culmination of a six months project where key elements of the Human Rights Act were analysed and subjected to detailed scrutiny by expert practitioners and academics.
Reviews
If you are interested in the Human Rights Act but are not an expert, this book will add class to your act. If you are an expert, you should find it stimulating and useful for reference. -- Charles Bourne * Independent Lawyer *
