Compensation Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Compensation Bill (HL).

I fear that the Minister has missed one important part of the argument in the Barker case: it extended liability to cover cases where part of the exposure was caused by the claimant himself. Is not there a danger that the law will go back to its state before Barker if the new clause is passed?
