Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Compensation Bill [HL].
Compensation Bill [HL]
My noble friend puts everything better than I can, so I shall not repeat what he said. However, can the Minister say whether judges are given guidance on how they should decide on the level of contributory negligence? Is nothing published? I know that sentencing guidelines are published. Is nothing available to guide judges in reaching this sort of conclusion that we might look at to understand better how some of these judgments are reached?
