New to this edition

Fully updated since the first edition to cover the impact and consolidation of the Human Rights Act 1998 into domestic law

This book is a reprint of the chapters on privacy and freedom of expression from the authors' major practitioner text, The Law of Human Rights. Its separate publication in this form is intended to make it accessible to those who do not have their own copy of the larger work. It is a detailed and comprehensive treatment of the law relating to human rights, privacy and freedom of expression in the UK and is particularly relevant to media law practitioners. The second edition of this work has been fully updated to provide detailed coverage of developments as the human rights legislation continues to be tested out in the courts. Systematic coverage of all the relevant European Convention case law on Article 8 (relating to privacy issues) and on Article 10 (on freedom of expression) is combined with a full survey of the common law principles and practice from the UK, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and other jurisdictions.

Readership: Practitioners in the UK, in particular those specializing in media law, human rights, and public law (constitutional and administrative); the judiciary; government and non-governmental organizations concerned with human rights and justice; individual academics and libraries specializing in human rights and public law in the UK and worldwide.

"This is an outstanding work which balances and synthesises these two fundamental human rights...The authors show a mastery of their subject and have condensed a difficult and developing body of law into a highly readable yet precise format." - Keith Schilling MA, Entertainment Law Review, 2011 Issue 5

"An indispensable volume for your law library - and very handy to carry around...to say this masterful and authoritative book is essential for your practice is an understatement." - Phillip Taylor MBE, Richmond Green Chambers
