Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 January 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Legal Services Bill [HL].


Legal Services Bill [HL]

I was saying that because this is about financial penalties, we have ensured that the procedure covers situations where the amount being challenged may not be considered extremely high or very disproportionate. It can still be challenged, which would be an additional ground; but all other grounds remain.
