Human Rights Judicial Protection in United Kingdom

This title provides detailed, authoritative commentary on the United Kingdom's Human Rights Act 1998 and related law. Sir Jack Beatson, a High Court justice, and a distinguished barrister-author team consider the act's general principles and its personal, temporal, and geographical scope. They discuss the latest U.K. caselaw; the ways in which domestic courts protect human rights; and devolution and human rights protections in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. They also cover the European Convention on Human Rights, the Strasbourg court's approach to it, and the scope of the U.K.'s obligation to read legislation compatibly with it.
