Following the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998, practitioners in all areas of law need to consider the impact of human rights issues on their work. ""Essential Human Rights Cases"" is a single source of over 400 summaries of the leading decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as significant domestic and Commonwealth decisions.;This new edition begins with a comprehensive survey of the impact of the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic law. Organised by subject matter, the work is broken down into the following areas: criminal law; immigration, asylum and deportation; families, children and gender; rights of expression and associated issues; and property, commercial and EC law. In addition discrimination, previously dealt with as a discrete chapter, is now incorporated into various chapters dealing with substantive discrimination law issues.
