“How the Human Rights Act applies to legal proceedings under this law”

When you’re involved in legal proceedings under this part of the law, most of the rules from Part 4 of the Human Rights Act 1993 will apply to your case. However, there are a few exceptions. Sections 97, 108A, and 108B of that Act won’t apply to your case. Sometimes, the rules might need to be changed a little bit to fit your situation, but overall, they will still be used.
