As well as explaining the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights (and its role in UK law), the book provides step-by-step guidance on the practices and procedures involved in bringing a case before the ECHR, ensuring that practitioners have a comprehensive guide to practising in the Court. The 6th has been revised to reflect recent statutory developments such as coming into force of Protocols 15 and 16 and case laws concerning issues such as surrogacy, migrants’ rights, privacy of email and internet at work (among other things).
