Defamation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Faulks (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Defamation Bill.

I am very grateful to the noble Baroness for giving way. I understand her desire not to encourage unnecessary litigation, but perhaps she could help me and the House with this. Even under the amendment it will be necessary for a court to decide whether a non-natural person is performing a public function. That of itself may be the question of a judicial decision, so even her amendment is not going to preclude any involvement of the judges.
