· Manner of Incorporation: It’s too easy to get rid of HRA, it can be repealed by any future Parliament. A Bill of Rights would be entrenched.
· Ommittance of Art 13: Judges cannot give adequate remedies to human rights breaches; only what is within the judiciary’s power. A Bill of Rights could give the judiciary power to award better remedies.
· S.19(1)(b): A law doesn’t always have to be passed with a statement of compatibility, as with Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, which led to the Belmarsh case. Laws can be passed that are incompatible with human rights. A Bill of Rights could fix this loophole.
