Abstract. â¢ Summary: This article examines the need for a new public law designed to protect vulnerable adults who are being abused. It considers the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on the debate on the need for a new law, and considers developments in the USA and proposals for reform in Scotland. Findings: The article concludes that there is a need for some form of public law designed to protect vulnerable adults. Existing law, which is mainly judge-made, is inappropriate and lacks the required predictability and procedural safeguards.
The Human Rights Act is a piece of law, introduced in 1998, that guarantees human rights in Britain. It was introduced as one of the first major reforms of the last Labour government.In practice, the Act has two main effects.Firstly, it incorporates the rights of the European Convention on Human Rights into domestic British law. What this means is that if someone has a complaint under human rights law they do not have to go to European courts but can get justice from British courts.he Conservatives say in their manifesto that they want to scrap the Human Rights Act. They would replace it with what they call a âBritish Bill of Rightsâ. They say this new bill will âbreak the formal link between British Courts and the European Court of Human Rightsâ.
