A Research Briefing issued by Parliament on 22nd May contains a summary of human rights cases involving the UK since 1975. It makes for interesting reading. The cases are divided into two time periods: 1975-2000 and 2001 to the present day. The Human Rights Act 1998 came into force on 2nd October 2000.
