Human Rights and Scots Law : Comparative Perspectives on the Incorporation of the ECHR

"This book, written by a team of academics, judges and distinguished practitioners from the UK and abroad discusses the implications of the incorporation of the ECHR into Scots law. The contributors consider the impact of the Human Rights Act in light of the new constitutional settlement for Scotland and their experiences of other rights regimes in Europe, the Commonwealth, and the United States. The contributions span the fields of Private, Public, European Community and Comparative law and draw on human rights law and practice in the UK, the European Community, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Sweden, where the ECHR was recently incorporated. Topics include: analyses of the Human Rights Act and Scotland Act; human rights and the law of crime, property, employment, family and private life; Scottish court practice and procedure; Scots law and the European dimension; and building a rights culture in Scotland."--Bloomsbury Publishing This Book, Written By A Team Of Academics, Judges And Distinguished Practitioners From The Uk And Abroad Discusses The Implications Of The Incorporation Of The Echr Into Scots Law.
