Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 2 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.
Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill
Are there not additional problems with ““grossly disproportionate””? The concept is completely alien to the European convention on jurisprudence, which refers to proportionality and disproportionality, not ““grossly disproportionate””. Secondly, there is the reference to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 in that context. ““Grossly disproportionate”” applies in the civil context, where the burden of proof is quite clearly different from that in criminal law.
