The Law of Human Rights has been highly acclaimed and is quickly establishing itself as the authoritative practitioner text in the field. Written by two leading practitioners, it provides a comprehensive and systematic treatment of human rights law and practice in the UK and 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 new Act itself, to provide essential guidance on how the new law is working in practice, while the annual supplements track the case-law as it is actually decided.
