‘Anxious Scrutiny’

Hello,

There appears to be some discussion in Wensbury and its link to the modern day principle of Proportionality on google.  Looks very interesting too.

Thank you.

Anxious scrutiny was a judicial device (as opposed to a fully formed legal doctrine) developed largely in human rights cases, before the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998.  It has largely been overtaken by the concept of proportionality contained in that Act.  There’s an excellent, recent discussion here which requires no further elucidation from me.

“Anxious scrutiny” is a fine description of my approach to Rightsnet News each day.

What will IDS have done now.
