Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill [HL].


Compensation Bill [HL]

My Lords, as the noble Baroness is leaving Part 1, I wonder if she would undertake to give further consideration to whether the concept of a desirable activity is really a justiciable concept at all, in the light of the questions raised, not least by my noble friend Lord Hunt of Wirral. On further reflection, would it not be better to leave the law in the unspecified but general state of requiring reasonable care in all circumstances?
