This book offers a comprehensive collection of Commonwealth human rights case law summaries and materials, which will assist practitioners in interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights following its incorporation into UK Law.

The book sets out the background to human rights jurisprudence in jurisdictions including Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, India and Zimbabwe. It examines the different structures of the constitutions in different countries and provides comparative analysis between those constitutions and the Convention.

Cases are organised according to the provision of the European Convention and presented in an easily accessible format.
