Defamation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 September 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Defamation Bill.

The Minister has been clear that he wishes courts to make orders only after successful defamation cases. What he has not answered is my question about the meaning of subsection (2) of the new clause, which refers to subsection (1) not affecting

“the power of the court”.

The courts, of course, have the power to issue injunctions.
