Details

A single source of over 400 summaries of the leading decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as significant domestic decisions.

Following the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, practitioners in all areas of law need to consider the impact of human rights issues on their work. Essential Human Rights Cases is a single source of over 400 summaries of the leading decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as significant domestic decisions.

This latest edition begins with a comprehensive survey of the impact of the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. Organised by subject matter, the work is broken down into the following areas:

Criminal law
Immigration, deportation and asylum seekers
Families, children and gender
Rights of expression and associated issues
Property, commercial and EC law

In addition discrimination, previously dealt with as a discrete chapter, is now incorporated into various chapters dealing with substantive discrimination law issues. An inexpensive and accessible resource that no practitioner can afford to be without, Essential Human Rights Cases offers carefully selected leading cases, clearly arranged and up to date, conveying a broad range of areas.
