The Human Rights Act Sample Clauses

The Human Rights Act. The Human Rights Act (1998) incorporates into our domestic law certain articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The Act requires all domestic law to be read compatibly with the Convention Articles. It also places a legal obligation on all public authorities to act in a manner compatible with the Convention. Should a public authority fail to do this then it may be the subject of a legal action under section 7. This is an obligation not to violate Convention Rights and a positive obligation to uphold these rights. The sharing of information between agencies has the potential to infringe a number of Convention Rights. Whilst Article 3 (Freedom from torture or inhumane or degrading treatment) and Article 1 of Protocol 1 (Protection of Property) may be infringed, the most likely infringement would be to Article 8 (Right to respect for private and family life).
