As is well known the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) is a
constitutional innovation,but can its scheme deliver? This timely
and provocative book probes the extent to which the HRA is
guaranteeing rights and whether it is transforming the legal
landscape. This companion text to Understanding Human Rights
Principles (Hart Publications 2001) is the culmination of a
six-month project where key elements of the HRA were analysed and
subjected to detailed scrutiny by expert practitioners and
academics. The result is seven chapters of the highest quality
which examine the following subjects including the reach of the Act
and its jurisdictional scope and how to strike the balance under
the HRA between interpretation and incompatibility. Two chapters
look at remedies for breach of human rights. The first under the
HRA and the second using Community law principles. The text then
goes on to consider assessment of fact, due deference, and the
wider impact of the Human Rights Act in administrative law. It then
asks what is public power? And looks at the courts' approach to the
public authority definition under the Act. Finally access to court
under the Human Rights Act is examined including standing, legal
assistance and third party intervenors. The book's contributors are
the leading experts in the field including Dinah Rose, Nathalie
Lieven, Janet Kentridge, Kate Markus, Richard Clayton QC, Peter
Roth QC, and Tim Owen QC. It provides an unparalleled examination
of the scheme of the Human Rights Act and its component parts and
it is of direct relevance to the practitioner and academic.
