1. Balancing decision-making amongst courts and legislatures 2. Judicial review and political responses 3. Comparing political responses in India and the United Kingdom 4. Judicial review in the shadow of remedies 5. Collateral institutions to judicial review 6. Conclusion.
This work examines the promise of a new model against its performance in practice by comparing judicial review under the Human Rights Act (HRA) of the UK to an exemplar of the old model of judicial review, the Indian Constitution. It argues that although the HRA fosters a more balanced allocation of powers between legislatures and courts than the Indian Constitution, it does so for a novel reason.
