 | | The Act makes available in UK courts a remedy for breach of a Convention right, without the need to go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. | | | The court however referred the case to the House of Lords as this decision conflicted with a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights. | | | The act specifies that an individual claimant, not a pressure group or similar organisation, must bring a case to court. |

| | The Act requires that the Crown be given notice of a case where a declaration might be given and the Crown is given a right to intervene in the case. | | | The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg (not to be confused with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg) draws inspiration from the Convention and in its own judgments refers to the decisions of the Strasbourg Court. | | | Acting incompatibly (including a failure to act compatibly) with the Convention rights may also be a "devolution issue" under the devolution legislation. |

| | Redefining the Relationship: government, courts and the HRA 1998. | | | Under the Human Rights Act 1998, s6 (1) it is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right and ‘a public authority’ includes ‘any person certain of whose functions are functions of a public nature’ (s 6(2)(b)). | | | Paradoxically whilst the political disqualification rule is predominantly a creature of the common law, a key element in the underlying rationale of the rule is to be found in the relationship between the legislative function of parliament and the role of the courts. |
