TCTM09510 - Decision Making: The Human Rights Act and Glossary of Terms: The Human Rights Act 1998 - What is it?
The Human Rights Act was passed in 1998 but only came into force on 2 October 2000. This brought powers from the 1950 European Convention on Human Rights under the umbrella of UK law and into the remit of the UK바카라 사이트™s own judicial system.
Prior to this date someone claiming a breach of their Human Rights under the 1950 Convention would have to take their case to The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. A person바카라 사이트™s rights are not absolute. Rights must be considered and compared against other rights to ensure fairness.
For example Article 1 of the first Protocol talks about a right to peaceful enjoyment of one바카라 사이트™s possessions. If however the removal of those possession is done lawfully (such as through deductions from a tax credits award to repay a debt under s29 of the TCA) then the article does not apply.
