[@mfk0368]

Excellent video. Many thanks

[@sharifullahroohi4892]

Hi Marcus I really appreciate your videos, thank you. My question I am trying to get an answer for is; how does the Human Rights Act affect the work of public authorities in the UK?

[@sarahmichie4382]

Absolutely love this, thank you Marcus. My only point to note is that the HRA covers the UK, not just England :)

[@TheJefooo]

Thanks Marcus C.

[@gordonjohnstone8941]

Hi Marcus many thanks. I have a question about a friend of mine who has a mental illness and has been sectioned under the mental health act. He has been sectioned many times as an adult against his wishes. He is deprived of his Liberty. He is deprived of family life. Can this be regarded as being incomparable with his human rights.

[@marcuscleaver]

It might be but that is not necessarily the case. The rights that you mention are not absolute rights and so they can be restricted in certain circumstances. A court or tribunal would have to examine all the evidence in line with the Mental Health Acts. I'm sorry to hear about the situation your friend is in however, it sounds terrible.

Do you do tuition???

[@user-df3ms9gk2i]

My exam at uni just wants us to describe the act rather than give us a case if that makes sense

[@chrisdvine]

s.6 remains unclear when it comes to private individuals vs private individuals. If the courts are a public body, what is to stop private individuals from bringing claims against other private individuals?

[@marcuscleaver]

+Chris Devine This is called indirect effect and is often seen in Article 8/10 cases where celebrities sue newspapers etc.

[@Malawiandoll]

Could you explain the application of the legality and proportionality test in relation to article 10?

[@alienbeingtakemetoyourdeal5455]

Great video, have you got any advice on the government & private corps on breach of human rights... & how to take them to court?

[@DeeGeeC]

Hello, will you consider updating this Lecture post Brexit?

[@marcuscleaver]

Human rights law isn't affected by Brexit. They are different treaties. :)

[@DeeGeeC]

This Act further reinforces my love for the Canadian Constitution. Parliamentary supremacy feels dangerous when it threatens individual liberties.

Bless you 🙏❤

[@futuristicPastgirl]

Great video as always

[@Hythloday71]

I am unclear on whether HRA permits private parties to bring HR violations against each other to court. You say ordinarily not, but you say the court argued ... etc. But if the court argued successfully, then all claims are brought before courts so this completely opens up the scope.

[@marcuscleaver]

+Hythloday71 Exactly. You've just explained horizontal direct effect better than I did!

[@aulakh8989]

thank you so much. god bless you.

the british bill of rights didnt happen. the people wouldnt allow david cameron get away with scrapping the constitutional human rights act. our constitution maybe unwritten but its constitutional nevertheless.
