'This is a volume of real value and importance…' Lord Justice Sedley, from his foreword
'This particular book is a real find.' Counsel
'…provides an ideal means for all to gain a good overview of the Act … The text is well explained and highly readable…' Law Society Gazette
This book has established itself as one of the most comprehensive and authoritative analyses of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the case-law of the European Court and Commission of Human Rights. The text draws on cases (reported and unreported) from Strasbourg which affect UK civil and criminal law. These are set out in a user-friendly way to enable practitioners and advisers to concentrate on those cases most relevant to their area of practice.
European Human Rights Law is, in effect, three books rolled into one …
- Part 1 of the book deals with the Human Rights Act itself;
- Parts 2, 3 and 4 deal with the general application of the Act to both criminal and civil proceedings;
- Part 5 describes the new procedures for taking a case to the European Court of Human Rights.
European Human Rights Law is essential reading for lawyers, advisers, public authorities and academics.
