No. Article 1 provides simply that the contracting parties to the Convention "shall secure to everyone within their jurisdiction the rights and freedoms defined in section 1 of this Convention". That objective is achieved by the Human Rights Act itself. Article 13 provides that anyone whose Convention rights and freedoms are violated shall have an effective remedy before a national authority. The Human Rights Act gives effect to Article 13 by establishing a scheme under which Convention rights can be raised before domestic courts, and remedies given. Nevertheless, Scottish and other UK courts may have regard to the case law on Article 13 in considering cases brought before them.There are no specific and distinctive implications for the legal and court system in Scotland by comparison with the rest of the UK.
