FAIR TRIAL RIGHTS IN THE UK: A TIMELY ANALYSIS AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 1998

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

Like its companion volume (published at the same time)’Privacy and Freedom of Expression’, this publication is indispensable in any law library. A reprint of the chapter on Fair Trial Rights from the second edition of the authors’ ‘The Law of Human Rights’ it will prove extremely handy if you do not have your own copy of the larger work.

Here you have a thorough, scholarly and authoritative treatment of the law relating to fair trial rights in the UK, with searching analysis of the broader impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 in civil and criminal law alike, with detailed coverage of the latest developments. This is a full update which offers detailed coverage of developments as the human rights legislation continues to be tested out in the courts.

Stressing the fundamental importance of fair trial rights, the authors point out that the ambit and content of these rights continue to generate controversy, warning that the development of fair trial rights, requires close attention – hence the value and authority of this book for any practitioner or academic, particularly those practicing criminal, or public law, or those interested in professional discipline or regulation.

There are six appendices pertaining to fair trial rights legislation, not only in the UK, but also, respectively, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and other jurisdictions. There is of course, an index and usefully, the contents of ‘The Law of Human Rights’ itself, is also appended.
