Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Compensation Bill [HL].


Compensation Bill [HL]

Clause 1 requires the court to determine,"““whether the defendant should have taken particular steps to meet the standard of care””." Does it not therefore follow that Clause 1 would only apply to statutory duties that impose some standard of care? That would narrow it down.
