This chapter considers the relationship between land law and human rights. From a distinctly land law perspective, the human rights discourse has given rise to much debate, which continues to fuel much academic commentary. The chapter focuses on the key European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) rights incorporated into domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998) — namely, Art. 1 of the First Protocol to the ECHR and Art. 8 of the ECHR. It identifies other Convention rights which exert an influence on land law. It begins with a brief summary of the broader machinery of the HRA 1998. ...Less

This chapter examines human rights law and how the European Convention on Human Rights has been implemented in the UK. The Convention rights and freedoms originated from the Second World War, when the Council of Europe developed a set of universal human rights to protect all the citizens of Europe. The Convention was formally incorporated into English law through the Human Rights Act 1998, and contains a number of Articles, which are the statements of legal rights, known as ‘Convention rights’. These rights represent the basic freedoms and minimum standards that are to be expected for all citizens in a democratic society. There are three fundamental characteristics of a Convention rights: each right is inherent — it exists as a separate and essential part of a free human being; it is inalienable — it cannot be given or taken away; and it is universal — it is common to all. ...Less

This chapter examines various Articles of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to see how, following the passage of the Human Rights Act 1998, the subject of human rights has had an impact on UK employment law. The articles of the Convention that are considered in relation to employment law are: the right not to be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment (Art. 3); the right not to be required to perform forced or compulsory labour (Art. 4); the right to a fair trial (Art. 6); the right to respect for private life (Art. 8); the right to freedom of thought (Art. 9); the right to freedom of expression (Art. 10); the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions (Art. 11); and the right to enjoy the substantive rights and freedoms set forth in the Convention without discrimination (Art. 14). ...Less

This chapter examines the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and discusses some of the important issues that arise from its use. It also provides an overview of relevant articles in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The HRA 1998 is quite a short Act and its key parts are in a small number of sections. Perhaps the most important is that of s 6 which places an obligation on public authorities to act in a way compatible with the ECHR, and s 7 which prescribes how it can be used to obtain a remedy in the courts. This chapter also links to the previous chapters in terms of discussing how the Act is interpreted. ...Less

This chapter examines the two principal European sources of law (namely EU Law and the European Convention on Human Rights) and their effect upon the UK’s legal system. It notes the institutions that form the EU and the differing forms of EU law. The effects of EU membership upon parliamentary sovereignty are discussed, noting that EU law has taken precedence over domestic law since 1973, so an Act of Parliament may be suspended by the courts if it fails to comply with EU law. The chapter then discusses the European Convention on Human Rights and the rights protected under it. Finally, the chapter discusses the domestic enforcement of the Convention by discussing in detail the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998. ...Less

Extracts have been chosen from a wide range of historical and contemporary cases to illustrate the reasoning processes of the courts and to show how legal principles are developed. This chapter deals with the area of human rights. It considers the European Convention on Human Rights and its incorporation into domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998. The chapter examines the implications of the Human Rights Act and how it operates in practice. It analyses the extent of its application between private litigants and courts' interpretation of legislation under the duty of making an interpretation, so far as is possible, which is compatible with the European Convention but which may result in a declaration of incompatibility. ...Less

Titles in the Complete series combine extracts from a wide range of primary materials with clear explanatory text to provide readers with a complete introductory resource. Complete Public Law combines clear explanatory text and practical learning features with extracts from a wide range of primary and secondary materials. The book has been structured with the needs of undergraduate courses in mind. Opening with consideration of basic constitutional principles (in which no previous knowledge is assumed), the chapters move on to cover all other essential areas, before closing with consideration of the principles and procedures of judicial review. This edition includes a new ‘case study’ chapter on human rights, terrorism, and the courts that illustrates how the Human Rights Act has been used in practice across the legal system, providing extra insight into the importance of both human rights law and the process of judicial review. The book has now been fully updated to account for the latest developments in constitutional law and politics, including the UK coalition government’s programme of reform and the May 2011 referendum on electoral reform. It also features enhanced discussion of the role and importance of tribunals and inquiries to ensure that students are familiar with these important sources of administrative justice. ...Less
