Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]
I entirely agree with the views that have just been expressed. We are making a great song and dance about this. As has been indicated, the people in charge of these tribunals are viewed as being sui generis, and so they should be. Whether we call them judges or legal members is regarded by the public as rather an abstruse matter. They view them as judges, and rightly so. It is not altogether unprecedented that they should be so regarded. I strongly support the view that has just been expressed.
