Breach of Human Rights

Breach of Human Rights

In the UK, human rights are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. This means you can take action under the Human Rights Act if you feel the Police have breached your human rights.

If your human rights have been violated and an injustice has been done, our Civil Liberties specialists may be able to challenge the actions of the Police

Our Fees

Different levels of legal aid may be available for your case and we always assess new enquiries to see if they are in scope for funding – this will depend on the facts/type of case and means assessment. Wherever a case falls outside of scope we may be able to offer you a fixed fee and/or our hourly rates. All these funding options can be discussed with our new enquiry team.
