As is well known, the Human Rights Act 1998 is a constitutional innovation, but can its scheme deliver? This provocative book probes the extent to which the HRA is guaranteeing rights and whether it is transforming the legal landscape. A companion text to "Understanding Human Rights Principles", the book is the culmination of a six months project where key elements of the Human Rights Act were analysed and subjected to detailed scrutiny by expert practitioners and academics.
