Chintan Chandrachud

Balanced Constitutionalism

Courts and Legislatures in India and the United Kingdom (Oip)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Human Rights Act (HRA) of the UK, 1998, unlike systems of parliamentary sovereignty and judicial supremacy, promised a new, 'balanced' model for the protection of rights, which conferred courts with limited power of review over legislation. This book examines the promise of the new model against its performance in practice by comparing judicial review under the HRA to an exemplar of the old model of judicial review, the Indian Constitution.
