Statement which all law firms must give their clients before they undertake exempt regulated activities for their clients

Any UK court or tribunal faced with an issue involving a Convention right is required to 'take into account' any judgment or decision of the European Court of Human Rights. In practice, however, the established approach of the UK courts has been to treat final judgments of the Strasbourg Court as binding unless there is some good reason not to. This Practice Note therefore sets out the key principles concerning the status of Strasbourg case law in UK courts. Background to HRA 1998, s 2 The UK was the first country to ratify the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention) in March 1951. Until the enactment of Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998), however, UK courts had no power to give effect to Convention rights because the Convention had not been incorporated into UK law. See: R v Secretary of State for the Home Department ex parte Brind. UK courts nonetheless had regard to judgments of the Strasbourg Court before the enactment of HRA 1998.

A statute is a written law enacted by a legislature and applied by courts and practitioners in day‑to‑day legal work. In the UK and Ireland, the term commonly refers to primary legislation passed by the UK Parliament, the Oireachtas, the Scottish Parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly, or (historically) by predecessor legislatures.Statutes set out binding legal rules and powers in an authoritative text, often supplemented by secondary legislation (such as regulations or orders) made under statutory authority. They may create rights and obligations, confer powers on public bodies, establish offences and penalties, or codify and reform existing law.Interpretation of statutes is governed by well‑developed rules of statutory construction in case law, with courts giving effect to the enacted wording read in context and, where relevant, in light of purpose and legislative history. Although detailed interpretative doctrines vary slightly between England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, the core concept of a statute as primary legislation is broadly consistent across these jurisdictions.
