Description
This guide summarises the relevant parts of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). It also considers the impact that legislation will have on all forms of construction law and practice generally. Although the HRA came into force on 2 October 2000 there still remains a general ignorance as to its content and effect. Indeed, many regard the HRA as having little relevance to construction disputes at all. However, the effects of both the HRA and the ECHR could bear heavily on construction and engineering, with particular emphasis on the resolution of the many forms of dispute that these industries throw up. This is a straightforward and coherent guide to the legislation. It provides practical solutions for those actually involved in, any form of construction or engineering contract or in any dispute resolution rising out of construction and engineering projects.
