Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Common Law Constitutional Rights by Edited by Mark Elliott Edited by Kirsty Hughes
This book offers the first detailed and comparative analysis of the content and role of common law constitutional rights in judicial decision-making. There is a developing body of legal reasoning in the United Kingdom Supreme Court that has championed common law constitutional rights. Indeed various members of the senior judiciary have asserted the primary role of common law constitutional rights and critiqued legal arguments based first and foremost on the Human Rights Act 1998. This collection brings together leading constitutional scholars to systematically analyse this significant shift in legal reasoning described by Lady Hale as ‘UK Constitutionalism on the march’ for the first time.
