LNB NEWS: Constitution Society highlights constitutional contradictions of Bill of Rights Bill

The Constitution Society has published a report which considers the proposed Bill of Rights Bill, which seeks to replace the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998), highlighting the unworkability of the Bill in its current form and questioning why it was created. 

Lexis®Library update: The report has argued that the Bill would create unnecessary constitutional contradictions and confusion at a time when constitutional coherence is needed and proposes what a ‘modern’ Bill should consist of to meet current and future ‘British’ constitutional challenges.

The report is accessible here.
