Human Rights Torts - Judicial Review and Human Rights

"Human Rights and Judicial Review: Case Studies in Context" provides an innovative and authoritative approach to the effects of the Human Rights Act 1998 on judicial review and the issue of human rights as a whole. This is an immensely practical and accessible work. The key subjects and problem areas are explored through case studies, which include the relevant procedural advice. The coverage includes: Civil court proceedings; Criminal investigations; Criminal procedure; Magistrates; Education; Housing; Immigration and extradition; Local government; Planning and environment; and Mental health. Case studies are based on decisions already made in the courts and set out hypothetical examples of problem. The chosen issue is then worked through and alternative scenarios to the facts are discussed. Completed sample judicial review forms and other precedents (including Scottish styles) are also included wherever necessary to outline the procedural elements of the case.
