Synopsis

The Human Rights Act gives effect in the UK to rights and freedoms guaranteed under the European Convention on Human Rights. The Act provides that legislation (including secondary legislation) should be drafted and existing legislation interpreted (and amended where necessary) to ensure compatibility with the Convention. Private individuals will be able to seek domestic redress against public bodies where Convention rights have been infringed. The Act will have far reaching constitutional importance and practical implications in many mainstream areas of legal practice, and this book provides an accessible guide to a full understanding of this significant piece of legislation.
