European human rights case locator 1960-2000

"The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates the European Convention of Human Rights. In interpreting Convention rights, the Act requires account to be taken of judgments and decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. Practitioners, students and researchers will need to find judgments, compare cases and follow the Court's jurisprudence. This book provides a useful and easy way to help in that task." "In this book, all the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights have been identified and listed in various different ways to allow for easy location and comparison. The cases are listed alphabetically, chronologically, by Article number and by country. Alphabetically, the listing contains the case name, respondent country, the article number considered by the Court with the Court's decision and the law report reference, where the case has been reported. The chronological listing includes all cases from Lawless v Ireland (1960, the first case decided by the Court) to Jecius v Latvia (a case decided on 31 July 2000). The Article number listing identifies the cases in which a decision was made on the Article number. The country listing groups the cases by country, provides a sentence description of the subject matter, and gives details, where appropriate, of the subsequent action taken by the respondent State."--Jacket.
