Description
The Human Rights Act 1998 is already having a profound effect on the UK legal system. Blackstone's Human Rights Series is a collection of publications providing expert, practical advice for lawyers to meet this challenge, focusing on the implications of the Act in key areas of practice. Employment Law and Human Rights provides a comprehensive guide to the impact of the Human Rights Act on UK employment law. It addresses the basic concepts of Convention law and provides a summary of the key Convention rights: Article 4: Prohibition of slavery and forced labour Article 6: Right to a fair trial Article 8: Right to respect for family and private life Article 9: Freedom of thought, conscience and religion Article 11: Freedom of assembly and association Article 14: Prohibition of discrimination Protocol 1, Article 1: Protection of property The Human Rights Act will affect employment law at almost every level: from decisions about what is reasonable in an unfair dismissal context to the procedure in the employment tribunal; from decisions about e-mail policies at work to discrimination against persons of different faiths.
This book aims to show how the Act might be relevant, what it can and can't do, and when and how a point should be taken under the Act.
