In response to the call for submissions from the Independent Review of the Human Rights Act, a group of leading public and constitutional lawyers who are members of or associated with the Oxford University Law Faculty, and who have engaged regularly, over many years, with the operation of the HRA in various capacities as academic commentators, practitioners, and judges have made a submission. 

It is their strong shared view is that there is no compelling case to amend the HRA, and that the proposed amendments would create real practical and constitutional problems. They conclude that there are considerable practical and constitutional problems with the proposed amendments.
