The 1997 white paper "Rights Brought Home"[
It takes on average five years to get an action into the European Court of Human Rights once all domestic remedies have been exhausted; and it
costs an average of £30,000. Bringing these rights home will mean that the British people will be able to argue for their rights in the British courts –
without this inordinate delay and cost.
Section 10 has been used to make small adjustments to bring legislation into line with Convention rights although entirely new pieces of legislation are
sometimes necessary.[14]
As of April 2013, 28 declarations of incompatibility have been issued, of which[15]
8 have been struck down on appeal
1 is pending appeal, as of April 2013
15 have been remedied through the ordinary legislative process (including amendment or repeal of the offending legislation).
3 have been addressed through remedial orders
1 has not been remedied.

- 3. In turn, "regulated entertainment" is defined as: a performance of a play, an exhibition of a film, an indoor sporting event, a boxing or wrestling entertainment (both indoors and outdoors), a performance of live music, any playing of recorded music, or a performance of dance The new requirement that there be a licence for the playing of live music in any venue no matter how small has been criticized for reducing the number of places where artists can play to tiny audiences. There have been press stories about how the law unreasonably singles out the playing of musical instruments when compared to other forms of entertainment, such as circus performing Privacy Law Privacy law refers to the laws which deal with the regulation of personal information about individuals which can be collected by governments and other public as well as private organizations and its storage and use. General privacy laws have an overall bearing on the personal information of individuals and affect the policies that govern many different areas of information. These laws are designed to regulate specific types of information. Some examples include: Health privacy laws

An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem, which may be a product or a process A copyright gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or "works". Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or manner in which they are expressed. A trademark is a recognizable sign, design or expression which distinguishes products or services of a particular trader from the similar products or services of other traders
- 5. Libel law Modern libel and slander laws, as implemented in many (but not all) Commonwealth nations as well as in the United States and in the Republic of Ireland, are originally descended from English defamation law. Their aim is to balance the right of free speech against protection for the reputation of an individual from unjustified attack In law, a person is defamed if statements in a publication expose him to hatred or ridicule, cause him to be shunned, lower him in the estimation in the minds of "right-thinking" members of society or disparage him in his work. Claimants will have to show they have suffered "serious harm" before suing, under the Defamation Act 2013 The changes - coming in on 1 January - will also address "libel tourism". Intellectual property (IP) rights are the legally recognized exclusive rights to creations of the mind. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property rights include copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights, trade dress, and in some jurisdictions trade secrets. The history of defamation law in England is somewhat obscure; civil actions for damages seem to have been relatively frequent as far back as the reign of Edward I (1272–1307) Obscene Publications Act Since 1857, a series of obscenity laws known as the Obscene Publications Acts have governed what can be published in England and Wales. The classic definition of criminal obscenity is if it "tends to deprave and corrupt," stated in 1868 by John Duke Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge. Of these, only the 1959 and 1964 acts are still in force in England and Wales, as amended by more recent legislation. They define the legal bounds of obscenity in England and Wales, and are used to enforce the removal of obscene material. Irish law diverged from English law in 1929, replacing the OPA 1857 with a new Irish act. Obscene Publications Act 1857
- 6. Obscene Publications Act 1959 Obscene Publications Act 1964 also known as Lord Campbell's Act or Campbell's Act The Act provided for the seizure and summary disposition of any material deemed to be obscene, and held for sale or distribution Broadcasting Act 1990 The aim of the Act was to reform the entire structure of British broadcasting; British television, in particular, had earlier been described by Margaret Thatcher as "the last bastion of restrictive practices". The act came about after the finding from the Peacock Committee its replacement with the Independent Television Commission and Radio Authority was now obliged to source at least 25% of its output from independent production companies The Broadcasting Act 1990 is a law of the British parliament, often regarded by both its supporters and its critics as a quintessential example of Thatcherism. It led directly to the abolition of the Independent Broadcasting Authority and its replacement with the Independent Television Commission and Radio Authority The ITC also began regulating non-terrestrial channels, whereas the IBA had only regulated ITV, Channel 4 and British Satellite Broadcasting; the ITC thus took over the responsibilities of the Cable Authority which had regulated the early non-terrestrial channels, which were only available to a very small audience in the 1980s. In radio, it allowed for the launch of three Independent National Radio stations, two of them on medium wave using frequencies formerly used by the BBC, and the other on FM using frequencies formerly used by the emergency services. It set out plans for many more local and regional commercial radio stations, generally using parts of the FM band not previously used for broadcasting, which have since come to fruition. Its plans for expanding community radio were only really developed in the 2000s.
