European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

This is a weakness in the Bill, which I will seek to address by means of an amendment on Committee Stage. The Minister has accepted that the litigant may still have to go to the European Court to obtain an effective remedy. In which case, the object of domesticating the European Convention on Human Rights so as to give quick relief to citizens in our courts will have been defeated.
