Описание: Explores how legislatures are able to secure human rights through legislation specifying rights and duties, and the institutional capacities that promote this aim. It opposes theories that place the main or sole responsibility for protecting human rights with courts, showing that legislatures can provide modes of protection that courts cannot provide.
Описание: It is commonly asserted that bills of rights have had a 'righting' effect on the principles of judicial review of administrative action and been a key driver of the modern expansion in judicial oversight of the executive arm of government. A number of commentators have pointed to Australian administrative law as evidence for this 'righting' hypothesis. They have suggested that the fact that Australia is an outlier amongst common law jurisdictions, in having neither a statutory nor a constitutional framework to expressly protect human rights, explaining why Australia alone continues to take an apparently 'formalist, ' 'legalist' and 'conservative' approach to administrative law. Other commentators and judges, including a number in Canada, have argued the opposite: that bills of rights have the effect of stifling the development of the common law. However, for the most part, all of these claims remain just that as there has been limited detailed analysis of the issue, and no detailed comparative analysis of the claims' veracity. This book analyzes in detail administrative and human rights law in Australia and Canada, arguing that both jurisdictions have reached remarkably similar positions regarding the balance between judicial and executive power, and between broader fundamental principles, including the rule of law and the separation of powers. It will provide valuable reading for all those researching judicial review and human rights. Revised Dissertation.

Описание:
In recent decades, there have been many changes to adoption law and practice, such as a sharp decline in the voluntary relinquishment of children, an increase in the number consigned to public care, and an abrupt decrease in those made available on an intercountry basis. Additionally, human rights are becoming more prominent, particularly in relation to issues such as: non-consensual adoption; the ethics of intercountry adoption; the eligibility of LGBT adopters; the impact of commercial surrogacy; and the sometimes conflicting rights of birth parents and adoptees when accessing agency birth records.
In this book, O'Halloran presents a comparative analysis of the interaction between adoption law and human rights in common law (England and the US), civil law (France and Germany), and Asiatic traditions (Japan and China), while also developing a matrix of legal functions to assist in identifying and analysing areas of tension between human rights and adoption.
This book is intended for a lawyer readership, whether professional, student or academic: researchers and postgraduate students in subjects such as social work, social policy and politics may also find it helpful.

Описание: How do you protect rights without a Bill of Rights? Australia does not have a national Bill or charter of rights and looks further away than ever from adopting one. But it does have a range of individual elements sourced in common law, statute and the Constitution which, though unsystematic, do provide Australians with some meaningful rights protection. This book outlines and explains the unique human rights journey of Australia. It moves beyond the criticisms long made of the Australian position - that its 'formalism', 'legalism' and 'exceptionalism' compromise its capacity for rights protection - to consider how the many elements of its novel legal structure operate. This book analyses the interlocking legal framework for the protection of rights in Australia. A key theme of the book is that the many different elements of a fragmented scheme can add up to something significant, albeit with significant gaps and flaws like any other legal rights protection framework. The book shows how the jumbled influences of a common law heritage, a written constitution, differing paths taken by jurisdictions within a single federal state, statutory and common law innovations and a strong dose of comparative legal influences have led to the unique patchwork of rights protection in Australia. It will provide valuable reading for all those researching in human rights, constitutional and comparative law.
