Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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
I do not know whether my hon. Friend is aware that there are in fact two places in the law where the term grossly disproportionate is used. The other place is schedule 3, paragraph 4 of the Opencast Coal Act 1958, which refers to the estimated cost of the work being"““grossly disproportionate to any prospective increase attributable””." Does he accept that the concept of the proportionality is much easier to use when one is attributing financial or some other value, rather than when one is talking about the action of an individual?
