Synopsis

Following implementation of the 1998 Act, companies, as well as individuals, could have direct access to the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. This will give business a powerful new weapon in challenging the actions of government and other public authorities and bodies. The Act will impact upon a wide range of commercial activity, and its influence is likely to be particularly significant upon the the conduct of disciplinary proceedings by regulatory authorities, the investigation of commercial crime and activities of the media. By referring to existing Convention case law, the book assesses the practical implications of the new legislation for business and provides guidance on the new procedure for introducing human rights issues in domestic courts and tribunals.
