Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Company Law Reform Bill (HL).


Company Law Reform Bill [Lords]

I am surprised by the hon. Gentleman’s remarks, because I thought that his colleagues in the other place had been fairly pleased with the Government’s approach. The standard by which the courts will have to form a judgment is whether there is prima facie evidence that a tort has occurred. That is quite a high standard. The hon. Gentleman is in danger of scaremongering on this issue when there has been a degree of compromise and consensus in the other place.
