Abstract
This article presents the findings of an empirical investigation into the role of third party interventions in the House of
Lords. It examines all the judgments in that court from 1994 to 2009 and tests four hypotheses concerning the impact of the
Human Rights Act 1998 upon the incidence of interventions and their influence on the decision-making of the Law Lords.
