Human Rights Act 1998The Human Rights Act 1998 applies to public authorities whose functions are of a public nature – such as regulators and suppliers. The Public Law Project may be able to comment and advise on the Act. Rights protected under the Human Rights Act are those contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. These include the right to property (Article 1), the right to a fair hearing (Article 6) and the right to privacy and family life (Article 8). Legal measures adopted by any state body that affect protected categories of human rights must be proportional to the aims to be achieved.1R (on the application of Bloomsbury Institute Ltd) v Office for Students [2020] EWHC 580 (Admin) Note: human rights legislation is not affected by Brexit. 1 R (on the application of Bloomsbury Institute Ltd) v Office for Students [2020] EWHC 580 (Admin) »
