Talk:Human Rights Act 1998

message: I have a question regarding the current controversy in the Episcopal Church in America.  One party claims by virtue of its connection the "the Anglican Communion", that is, the worldwide collaboration of churches sprung from the Church of England, that the American Church should not have the right or the authority to elect a practicing homosexual a bishop in the American Episcopal Church.  Does the position of the people who are opposed to gay bishops in America violate the Human Rights Act of 1998?  I realize there are many ancillary questions arising from this query, and I am not a lawyer, but I would like to hear a comment from anyone who knows more about these issues than I do.  
: No. (1) The HRA does not apply to the Episcopal Church of the USA - they are governed by the laws of the United States and not those of the United Kingdom. In any case it only applies to acts of public authorities and not to the opinions of individuals. (2) The Anglican Communion is a voluntary confederation of independent churches. The Church of England has no formal authority over the other member churches. Duncan Keith 00:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

text: The whole section on 'political context' is a biased leftist rant from beginning to end. Phrases such as "have therefore been exploited by the ignorant and the reactionary as an opportunity to criticise judges and the Act" can hardly be viewed as NPOV. I intend to rewrite parts of this section, unless anyone objects. Walton monarchist89 11:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Neutral point of view 

message: Reviewing this article I think it's need of rather a lot of clean-up. I have began by fleshing out (and renaming) the "Mechanics of the Act" section (now: Rights protection under the Act). The original version provided no references to the sections of the Act and made some rather loose statements. This section no longer provides any sort of commentary on the sections. I do not believe that it should. I will however add verifiable and non-POV commentary in future by reworking the "history of the Act section" (which is also largely unsourced at the moment) and developing the coverage of subsequent case law under the Act. A more rational approach to subsequent political treatment of the Act is also needed, it is presently lumped in with the "history" and amounts to no more than a series of out of date, unsourced remarks. What about David Cameron suggesting he would replace the Act altogether with a British Bill of Rights? Antisthenes 00:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleaning up this article

message: Section 10 (Power to take remedial action) only says a Minister ‘may’, but not ‘must’, change the law; nor does it place a time-limit on the change. This has become interesting in the DNA database case and the case about prisoners voting. – Kaihsu (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Rebuttals are made to an old Conservative criticism - no such rebuttal is offered in the article to the Left wing criticism. How unbiased, how fair! 98.176.7.5 (talk) 01:24, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: The act doesn't define the term, although it does say that it includes courts and tribunals and excludes parliament. There's a lot of case law on the subject. Francis Davey (talk) 12:06, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
