The Naval Discipline Act 1957 (Remedial) Order 2004 is an order made under special procedures set out in the Human Rights Act to allow for the speedy remedying of an incompatibility between UK law and the Convention rights established under that Act.
The Joint Committee on Human Rights is required to report to each House on each case of the use of these powers by a Minister.
This Report explains the background to the above remedial order, the Committee's deliberations in relation to it, and the Committee's conclusions.
The Committee reports to each House that, in its view, the Order is intra vires and is a justified use of the power conferred by section 10 of and Schedule 2 to the Human Rights Act 1998, and does not require to be drawn to the attention of either House on formal grounds.
The Committee recommends that the Order be approved.
