Justice and Security Bill [Lords]

It seems to me that we do not know how many of these cases there will be, because we do not know what effect the new process will have. This is becoming a popular

jurisdiction and the number of cases is slowly climbing, because no defence is offered to people’s claims and they are being awarded quite large sums of money. Once it is possible for the Government to defend themselves, people will, presumably, think more clearly about the substance of their allegations before bringing claims, and we just do not know how many we will have.
