Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may ask a short supplementary question following the queries made by my noble friend Lord Carlile about Clause 9. I was intending to raise it on a later amendment but will do so now if my noble friend is going to deal with it. The natural meaning of ““exceptional cases”” suggests to me something very unusual about either the claim or the claimant. I am troubled that claimants might fall foul by virtue of being part of a cohort. Can the Minister help me with what is meant by ““enforceable EU rights””, which, along with convention rights, bring one within the exceptional determination provision?
