The book critically examines the Human Rights Act 1998, arguing that parliamentary legislative supremacy, often seen as a limitation, can actually allow for a more robust protection of human rights. It contends that the Act, when interpreted correctly, fosters democratic dialogue, enabling courts to safeguard rights while allowing the legislature to address the balance of rights within society. Additionally, it offers a fresh perspective on the importance of maintaining Dicey's view of parliamentary sovereignty within the UK Constitution.
