description: This highly regarded work explores the impact of human rights legislation in Scotland and provides a comprehensive review of European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence and relevant domestic legislation and case law as well as an overview of Strasbourg enforcement machinery. Key developments covered in this second edition include particularly important decisions on devolution legislation, the effect of delay in criminal proceedings, and the scope of the guarantee of an independent and impartial tribunal under Scotland's Article 6. The implications of hundreds of other new cases - on topics including mental health, childcare, prisoners, and sentencing - are also considered. Updated information on new Council of Europe initiatives and websites, as well as new comparative material, has been added.
