Section 3 HRA interpretation duty
Section 3 HRA interpretation duty
Real World
In Ghaidan v Godin-Mendoza (2004), the House of Lords used s.3 HRA to read 'living together as husband and wife' in the Rent Act 1977 to include same-sex partners, avoiding a declaration of incompatibility and protecting the claimant's tenancy.
Exam Focus
Explain the limit: s.3 cannot produce an interpretation that contradicts a fundamental feature of the legislation — cite Re S (2002) for the boundary.
