Product Description
The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights into British law and is a huge constitutional innovation. There will be radical changes to legal techniques which will affect every area of the law - from commerce to crime, from tax to civil liberties, from family law to public law. This second edition provides an up-to-date, clear and user-friendly guide to what it all means. It provides a clear, concise explanation of how the Human Rights Act 1998 will be applied and summarizes the interpretative techniques that lawyers need to understand. The text illustrates, with examples, areas in which the Act will have an impact. It also summarizes developments in Strasbourg case lawand the new Scottish and House of Lords case law. A copy of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Convention, the practice rules and all the relevant Hansard statements.

Format:Paperback
Faced with having to write an essay on the Human Rights Act I was referred to this text by lecturers as an informative text on the Act.
On reading the text it gave a concise explanations of the effect the act.
Helen Mountfield and John Wadham have successfully managed to explain a complex topic in a way that a person not trained in law could grasp while informing the legal profession of the Act's relevance at the same time.
It is not perhaps the most exciting read but incredibly informative and extremely relevant to future court cases.
