Lester, Pannick & Herberg: Human Rights Law and Practice 3rd Edition
Human rights is a complex field of law, especially as it impacts on many other legal practice areas. Since the publication of the second edition, human rights law has grown in importance in the UK and there are now few areas of law which the Human Rights Act 1998 does not influence.
This new edition of Lester, Pannick and Herberg: Human Rights Law and Practice has been substantially re-written to take into account the major changes which have occurred in this area of the law. It includes not only an up-to-date summary of European and UK human rights law but also wider international and comparative case law. It places this subject within its wider parliamentary context and connects with other jurisdictions.
New to the third edition of Lester, Pannick & Herberg - Human Rights Law and Practice:
Lester, Pannick & Herberg: Human Rights Law and Practice is widely used by judges, practitioners and students as an authoritative guide to the practice, procedure and impact of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Human Rights Act 1998 exerts magnetic force over all areas of the law. The third edition treats issues arising under the Human Rights Act comprehensively, including freedom of expression, conscience and belief, freedom of assembly and association, protection against torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as well as fair trial.
International Human Rights codes and comparative human rights law elsewhere in the Commonwealth, Ireland and the United States are also discussed.
Written by three leading experts on human rights, together with a notable team of contributors, the main focus of Human Rights Law and Practice is on civil and political rights, with discussion also given on such areas as economic, social and cultural rights, which are in part justiciable and relevant to the interpretation of some civil and political rights.
With specific chapters analysing the political history and the role of parliament in its conception and enforcement, this practical textbook covers all the information you need to interpret the Human Rights Act 1998 and this complicated area of law.
This concise treatise on defamation is both lucid and comprehensive. Statutory developments, including the implementation of the Defamation Act 1996, are incorporated and there is a full discussion of the various cases where aspects of the common law relating to defamation have been examined.
