If you believe that a public authority, which can in
some cases include private or charitable organisations where they
carry out public functions, has breached your human rights you may
be entitled to raise court proceedings under the Human Rights Act.
In certain cases the court will award compensation if it finds a
breach of the Act. There is a strict time limit of twelve months
from the date of the alleged breach for taking such a case to
court. It is therefore important to seek specialist legal advice as
soon as possible.
