answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2016 answer text <p>It is not possible to provide the information requested. Litigants in civil cases can rely on arguments based wholly or partly on the Human Rights Act 1998. In some cases, the Act is relied on in addition to other claims. When the Human Rights Act came into force, no specific arrangements were put in place by the then government to record cases in the way requested. As a result, there are not currently data published which distinguish between cases where the Human Rights Act was or was not invoked.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 04/03/2016 12:09:00 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
