Summary Note

This book examines the effects of the Human Rights Act on the constitutional landscape, its effect on constitutional doctrine, and the reasoning used by judges in giving it effect. The authors study the Act’s relationship with other bills of rights and how the Human Rights Act experience can inform the debate over a UK Bill of Rights. ”’
