The Compatibility of Compulsory Purchase Orders and Human Rights - Paperback

by Shemi Leira Esquire (Author)

This text examines the compatibility of CPOs and human rights. Through the prism of the European Convention on Human Rights which (incorporates the Human Rights Act 1998) and the applicable international human rights conventions. By analysing the underlying policies, practices and decisions. Such as consultation, internal processes, viability reports, environmental or equality matters, planning permission, the adverse impact on residents in settled communities. Crucially in relation to fundamental life indicators, like employment, finances, culture, health and Education. The text also highlights the almost inevitable historical, institutional and structural disproportionate impact on racial minorities. Which therefore entails an imperative analysis of the CPO applicable statutory compensation. In terms of fairness, justice and equity. And examining whether the associated legal remedies are practically or meaningfully enforceable. Concluding with proposals for reform.
