This book, written by a team of academics, judges and distinguished practitioners from the UK and abroad discusses the implications of the incorporation of the ECHR into Scots law. The contributors consider the impact of the Human Rights Act in light of the new constitutional settlement for Scotland and their experiences of other rights regimes in Europe, the Commonwealth, and the United States. The contributions span the fields of private, public, european community and comparative law and draw on human rights law and practice in the UK, the European Community, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States and Sweden, where the ECHR was recently incorporated.
In light of the implementation of the Scotland Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998, the Faculty of Law at Edinburgh University hosted a conference where invited Scots lawyers could reflect on their own specialization from a human rights perspective. They draw lessons from other legal systems that had recently undergone similar transformations, particularly Canada and Sweden, and consider how the constitutional changes would be incorporated into the devolution legislation.
