Epilogue

Abstract

The rights text now used around England and Wales (Appendix 12) is based on the Sergeant revision. However, the text underwent significant, sadly detrimental alterations since the Sergeant and I were involved. The alterations compromise the Sergeant’s aims, throughout. He designed an uncluttered first page providing a short, distinctive rights summary. The version now used inserted the following words at the very beginning of the text:

The following rights and entitlements are guaranteed to you under the law in England and Wales and comply with the European Convention on Human Rights.
