The implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998 in October 2000 has facilitated the incorporation into UK law of rights and freedoms guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. This allows the British Domestic Courts to consider Human Rights representations.
In practical effect this act has the potential to affect many aspects of English Law for example Criminal Law, Family Law, Immigration Law to Public order issues.
