More DescriptionIt is clear from the approach taken by the judiciary that the Human Rights Act 1998 will have a profound effect on the UK legal system. Blackstones Human Rights Series is a collection of publications providing expert, practical advice for lawyers to meet this challenge. The series has been edited by John Wadham, solicitor, Director of Liberty and a member of the Governments Human Rights Task Force. He has acted for large numbers of applicants in cases before the European Commission and Court of Human Rights and has trained many public authorities, senior officials, police officers, court staff and lawyers on the Act and the European Convention on Human Rights. He is the co-author of Blackstones Guide to the Human Rights Act 1998. This book provides an introduction to the Human Rights Act 1998, an overview of the principle articles of the European Convention on Human Rights and a detailed analysis of the remedies and their likely importance in the local government context. The book then deals with the impact of the Human Rights Act 1989 on various specific topics.
