Elizabeth Adams: The Judicial Approach to the Judicial Discretion under s.4 HRA in Secretary of State for Business and Trade v Mercer [2024] UKSC 12 – UK Constitutional Law Association

Posted October 28th, 2024 in declarations of incompatibility, human rights, judiciary, news, Supreme Court by tracey

‘In Secretary of State for Business and Trade v Mercer [2024] UKSC 12 (Mercer), the Supreme Court was confronted with whether and how to exercise its powers under sections 3 and 4 of the HRA 1998. This blog post will focus on assessing how the Supreme Court approached the judicial discretion to grant a declaration of incompatibility under section 4 HRA (s.4). Section 4 states that if the court is satisfied that the provision is incompatible with a Convention right, it may make a declaration of that incompatibility – “may” demonstrates the judicial discretion at the core of the mechanism.’
