This year is turning out to be important for the Constitution’s recognition of economic and social rights in Article 43. Overall, it has had few human rights cases — not all encouraging. Indeed, most right to housing cases so far have involved evictions. The Bill includes one totally unnecessary change to the Bill of Rights – maybe to show they care about rights also?) The court linked this, interestingly, to the Constitution and its concept of “public land” (not “government land” as in the past).
