A heavyweight companion to convention rights
The Law Society Gazette examines the role of the Human Rights Act as a domestic complement to the European Convention on Human Rights, describing it as a heavyweight companion that brings convention rights directly into UK courts and law. Discussion centres on how the Act underpins access to rights without requiring claimants to go to Strasbourg, amid ongoing debate over possible reform or replacement of the legislation.
Why now: Debate over the future of the Human Rights Act keeps its relationship with European convention rights in the spotlight.
