European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

However, the remedy of money might not be much good in that case. The article on just satisfaction states: "If the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party". This again recognises that a monetary remedy may not be what is needed. I regret that the Bill does not make provision for this.
