The European Convention on Human Rights and its Protocols contain provisions which affect almost every area of law and legal practice, including property law, family law and civil and criminal litigation. The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates the Convention into UK law.
It creates remedies against public authorities acting in ways which breach the Convention rights and will require courts and tribunals to take account of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. Every lawyer will need to know about human rights cases. In this new book, which is designed to be used alongside textbooks on European human rights law, Alastair Brown provides detailed summaries of over 200 of the most frequently cited human rights cases. Previously a T & T Clarke publication.
