... particularly well structured, clear and helpful and is likely to be adopted as a handbook by many tribunal chairmen. This admirably lucid, concise and cogent exposition of the law deserves to become a standard text....provides a useful guide to the new law.As a survey of the actual, and potential, impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 upon its chosen field it succeeds admirably. Employment lawyers will find it of great practical value....it is pleasure and a relief to read Employment Law and Human Rights by John Bowers QC and Jeremy Lewis. Legal Week, March 2001.More details
