N1  - Based on the author's thesis (doctoral - University of Cambridge, 2011) issued under title: Damages for breaches of human rights : a tort-based approach; Includes bibliographical references and index; Introduction -- The tort framework -- A tort-based approach to human rights damages -- The public law-private law distinction -- Human rights damages and "just satisfaction" : the "mirror" approach -- Interest-balancing approaches -- Other methods of limiting human rights damages -- Conclusion
N2  - Damages for breaches of human rights is emerging as an important and practically significant field of law, yet the rules and principles governing such awards and their theoretical foundations remain underexplored, while courts continue to struggle to articulate a coherent law of human rights damages. The book's focus is English law, but it draws heavily on comparative material from a range of common law jurisdictions, as well as the jurisprudence of international courts
