The Human Rights Act 1998 has had a profound impact on the law of England and Wales. It has led to an astonishing amount of litigation across all areas of law and is invoked in many, if not most, of the cases determined by the Supreme Court. It has occupied and strained judicial minds at the highest level from the moment it came into force in October 2000. And there is no sign of litigation involving the Act relenting any time soon.
Well-structured & informative
It is perhaps surprising, therefore, that there are so few textbooks covering the law generated in relation to the Human Rights Act. Two major textbooks, T he Law of Human Rights (Clayton and Tomlinson) and Human rights and practice (Lester, Pannick & Herberg) may vie for the title of the most authoritative textbook in the area.
