Ellie Palmer is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Law at the University of Essex.

...this well-written and very informative book is a valuable addition to the rapidly growing body of literature on economic and social rights adjudication under the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and, more generally, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)...the author deals excellently with a wide range of case law and issues and the book is essential reading for those working on the protection of socio-economic rights in the UK and other jurisdictions where such rights have been afforded protection through the judicial application of civil and political rights. More generally, those with an interest in the operation of the HRA and the key debates surrounding that instrument will also gain much from this work. Aoife Nolan European Human Rights Law Review Issue 1, 2009 ...this book is much more than a factual exposition of the recent case law. The interest in this book lies in the breadth of the context in which her analysis is placed...an interesting and educational read which will undoubtedly deepen the reader's understanding of the complexities and trends in this fascinating and continually developing area of law. Samantha Broadfoot Judicial Review Vol 13:2, 2008 ...a well written, accessible and fascinating insight into the development of socio-economic rights and a welcome contribution to an important debate. Les Allamby Frontline Spring 2008 ...a valuable and timely contribution to this growing field...one of the strengths of Palmer's book is that her analysis is contextualised within a discussion of broader political and economic issues...a clear, lucid and detailed discussion that will be of use to all those interested in this growing and dynamic field. Murray Wesson Public Law 2009 The strengths of this work include its breadth of coverage, extensive footnoting to a wide range of materials from numerous jurisdictions and the author's clear exposition. Alastair Mowbray European Public Law Volume 14, Issue 4, 2008 ...a detailed account of how some social rights are enforced...Although Palmer's study is one of social rights protection under the Human Rights Act, it begins with valuable accounts of the debate about how best to protect social rights, dealing with a number of familiar arguments...The evidence provided by Palmer creates a real and serious challenge for those of us whose project is to advance the cause of social rights...
