In this chapter, Conor Gearty takes on the Human Rights Act 1998 as a leading work. Adopting an autobiographical approach to understanding its significance, Gearty explores his own changing views on the merits of the Act against the backdrop of the changing political and constitutional fortunes of a statute that remains highly controversial.
