Henrik Jorem has published the new book The Development of the Right to Property in the European Convention on Human Rights with Brill. It deals not only with the evolving case-law on Article 1 of Protocol 1, but also places this in wider discussions about subsidiarity and procedural review. The volume is the first in a new series entitled Interdisciplinary Studies into the Council of Europe and its Conventions, edited by Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou and Michele Nicoletti. This is the abstract of Henrik Jorem's book:
'The right to the peaceful enjoyment of property is one of the most frequently invoked rights in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). It is also one of the most complex and least understood. Through the Convention's history, the protection of the right to property has undergone significant development in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. This book shows how the Court’s reliance on the Convention’s object and purpose – in particular the rule of law – has served as the main impetus for development. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the jurisprudence, the book analyses the arguments and clarifies the principles governing human rights protection of property rights.'
