Property law and human rights - Deborah Rook

This text contains an introduction to the provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 and an explanation of the Convention jurisprudence. It provides a detailed analysis of Article 1, Protocol No.1, and Articles 6, 8 and 14, all of which are likely to have an impact on English property law. The relevant case law of the Strasbourg institutions (the European Court of Human Rights and the Commission) is considered in depth and case summaries of the most importantproperty-related cases are provided in an appendix. The book considers the impact of the Human Rights Act on specific aspects of English property law and considers how some areas appear vulnerable to challenge under the Act. The book should be of use to both practitioners and academics by providing a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to the impact of the Human Rights Act on property law.
