Blackstone's Guide to the Human Rights Act 1998 John Wadham

The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by leading names on the scope, extent and effects of the legislation, plus a full copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key information needs and are the perfect companion for any practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes. This new edition of the Blackstone's Guide to the Human Rights Act 1998 provides clear, concise coverage of the operation and application of the Human Rights Act 1998. In a time of uncertainty about the future of human rights in the UK, this edition discusses the successes and failures of the Act and its possible replacement with a Bill of Rights. The Guide assesses the case law of the European Court and analyzes the impact of Convention rights in landmark domestic judgements across a wide range of areas, including terrorism, privacy, discrimination, and criminal law. It explains the interpretive techniques employed by the courts to read legislation compatibly with Convention rights, and maps the UK and Strasbourg courts' divergence in approach to certain areas of human rights protection. It also highlights the aspects of the Act that the courts have not yet clarified. The book contains a copy of the Human Rights Act 1998 as amended, the European Convention for the Protection of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.
