Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) British and Canadian Public Law in Comparative Perspective by Edited by Ian Loveland
This book explores current human rights controversies arising in UK law in the light of the way such matters have been dealt with in Canada. It discusses such issues as assisted dying voting rights for prisoners the wearing of religious symbols parental control of their children’s upbringing and the law regulating libel actions brought by politicians. The contributions to this volume provide detailed analyses of these broad and narrow matters in a comparative perspective and suggest that the United Kingdom’s public law jurisprudence and scholarship might benefit substantially from a closer engagement with their Canadian counterparts.
