Criminal Justice and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Justice and Courts Bill.

My Lords, the purpose of Amendments 157, 158, 160 and 161, which are all of a piece, is simply to ensure that the court has a discretion rather than a duty in relation to information about the funding of judicial review. It is very important to be clear in the Bill that the court retains a discretion in relation to these matters. That is what these amendments seek to do in relation to funding issues. I wish to test the opinion of the House on Amendment 157.
