    If you mean the Human Rights Act 1998, then no, that was a UK statute. Our ECHR Act 2003 is very similar but has some important differences.

    No, as far as I know we had nothing but the Constitution. In fact, one of the reasons that we were so slow to enact the 2003 Act was that it was considered that the Constitution pretty much covered everything the ECHR did, and in some case covered more.
