Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Yvonne Fovargue (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 28 June 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Civil Litigation Reform
- Question
- An array of human rights experts, including several non-governmental organisations, human rights lawyers and the UN special representative on business and human rights, have all criticised the Government's reforms of civil litigation. On what basis can the Minister assure the House that his proposals to reform civil litigation will not impact negatively on access to justice for victims of human rights abuse?
- Answer
-
I have been in correspondence with many of the people whom the hon. Lady mentions, and I repeat that the Government believe that it will still be possible to bring claims against multinational companies once our reforms are implemented.
