Proceeding contribution from Lord Chorley (Crossbench) 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]
I do not want to prolong the discussion. I agree very much with the noble Baroness—we do not want to discourage things—but what on earth is the point of Clause 1 unless it makes some change? We are groping to try to find a reasonable balance so that the courts do not make some of the silly decisions that they made in the past due to ignorance on what is reasonable in the circumstances.
