Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].


Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

It is true that a sizeable minority of bailiffs and firms routinely threaten, harass, intimidate, lie to and overcharge clients. Firms that are guilty of such bad practice are, in theory, being supervised by county court judges. That is the flaw. We put too much faith in that process, and there is almost never any withdrawal of the certification that the court can provide.
