In this episode, Thomas Fairclough, a PhD student at the University of Cambridge disputes the argument that common law rights are only limited in scope and therefore cannot offer the protection of human rights that we currently enjoy. Instead, he argues the common law can be used to fill the gap created by Brexit or repeal of the Human Rights Act.

Constitutional Referendum, Socio-Economic Rights by Dr Katie Boyle

Human Rights after Brexit podcast is a series of nine podcasts in which young human rights experts discuss the implications of Brexit for human rights protection in the UK. Employment, equality, data protection, are all in danger of being undermined. In these podcasts, experts seek to identify questions that are likely to come up in the next two years before we leave the EU and provide tentative answers. The podcasts were recorded at the workshop led by Dr Veronika Fikfak and held at the University of Cambridge, Lauterpacht Centre at the end of March 2017. The workshop was sponsored by the British Academy.
