The author makes two claims in this paper. First, there appears to be an increase in indications of inconsistency (“IoIs”) across the common law world. Second, this increase is a normatively concerning turn in judicial practice. IoIs are judicial statements which, either explicitly or by implication, indicate that primary legislation is incompatible with certain protected human rights or civil liberties. They are related to, but stop short of, the formal remedies known as declarations of inconsistency (“DoIs”).

不一致的迹象

作者在这篇论文中提出了两个主张。首先，整个普通法世界的不一致迹象（“IoI”）似乎有所增加。其次，这种增加在司法实践中是一个规范性的转向。IoI 是明确或暗示表明主要立法与某些受保护的人权或公民自由不相容的司法声明。它们与被称为不一致声明 (“DoI”) 的正式补救措施有关，但不属于这种情况。
