This article presents an empirical analysis of the impact of the Human Rights Act on the House of Lords. Drawing on a database of judgments from 1994 to 2007, changes in judgment-giving behaviour are identi¢ed by charting patterns of agreement and dissent across di¡erent categories of case.Voting records are also examined in order to identifywhether signi¢cant di¡erences exist between individual Law Lords in their approach to human rights cases.
