Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL]

May I interrupt? I used to give practice direction, when I was President of the Family Division. There is a clear understanding by judges, particularly judges who are head of a division, as the president of the upper tribunal will be, as to the distinction between substance, which is not the matter of a practice direction, and procedure, which is eminently the matter. I feel confident that the president—I think that the first president will be a Court of Appeal judge—will totally understand that distinction. If he did not, I have no doubt that he would consult either the President of the Queen’s Bench Division or the Lord Chief Justice.
