Compensation Bill [Lords]

Does not what my hon. Friend said in response to the previous intervention defeat her own argument? If the purpose of clause 1 is simply to clarify existing law, which of course the Lord Chief Justice told the Constitutional Affairs Committee could not be done in a single sentence, why does she need a great long pamphlet explaining what the law is? Is it not better simply to set out in detail in that pamphlet what the law is for organisations without tinkering by means of clause 1, which will create a whole batch of new defences and litigation?
