Serious Crime Bill [HL]

Like the noble Lord, Lord Henley, we were puzzled by the use of the word ““foreseeable””. We have never come across a situation where a court can determine whether something is foreseeable. I think we are talking about the type of powers that mean that we expect the courts to act as clairvoyants. Is that the reason? One problem is the use of words that do not seem to fit in. We agree with the noble Lord, Lord Henley, that ““reasonable”” would have more meaning in the clause, unless the Minister can convince us on the reason why the other word has been used.
