It refers to relevant international and comparative human rights law elsewhere in the Commonwealth, Ireland and the United States.
The third edition also places the Human Rights Act in context, recalling its history and explaining the role of Parliament in scrutinising legislation to ensure compatibility with human rights laws.
Practical and accessible for judges, lawyers and students, the third edition includes many new cases, and all the information needed to interpret and apply a complicated area of law.
“Now accepted as one of the most authoritative works
on human rights in the context of United Kingdom law.”
