Anti-human rights sentiment that confused the European Court of Justice with the European Court of Human Rights appeared in official Leave literature distributed ahead of last week’s EU referendum, writes Jon Robins in this week’s NLJ. It included “blithe assertions” that, for example, voting remain would mean the European Courts were in control of decisions like prisoners’ voting rights (in fact, that is a European Court of Human Rights ruling and nothing to do with the EU). Robins warns that employment law protections and human rights could be up for grabs once the UK leaves the EU.
