Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

I would love the Secretary of State for once to use an example or any example that does not involve Richard III. He knows very well that the intention of his approach on clause 67 is not to be transparent, but to discourage small litigants—individual groups wishing to take on a big corporation—who would fear that all their funds were at risk. The vast majority of such cases are of that kind. He wants to suppress viable litigation, rather than in any way to be transparent.
