Proceeding contribution from Mike O'Brien (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Companies Bill (HL).

Companies Bill [Lords]

I hear what the right hon. and learned Gentleman says. However, subsection (4) states:"““If the court makes such a direction and it appears to the court that the company is or may be subject to other requests made for a similar purpose…it may direct that the company is not to comply with any such request.””" So there is a considerable amount of discretion for the court. The court is in a position to be able to make appropriate orders, as it thinks fit in the circumstances that it is facing.
