- This book, a distillation of research spanning two decades, assesses the corpus of jurisprudence built up under the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and offers a critical analysis of its core themes. It draws on the author’s research notes on all HRA decisions in the UK’s apex court since 2002 (approx. 25-30 decisions per year over twenty years), and is supplemented by analyses of parliamentary and executive responses to HRA judgments and general political debates about the Act. Although secondary literature is comprehensively referenced throughout the book, it takes second place to the author’s close analysis of the primary sources.
