SENIOR representatives of City law firms have become the latest figures to speak out against the Tories’ Bill of Rights, warning the reforms would be “bad for business.”

The proposed legislation seeks to replace the Human Rights Act, reducing the influence of the European Court of Human Rights in British courts.
