Proceeding contribution from Lord Mayhew of Twysden (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill.

Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Bill

The noble and learned Lord lays some weight on the assertion that this is not an ouster clause. Surely, he will acknowledge that it is an ouster provision, and that is what really matters. Clause 7 says the court may not entertain. That means it cannot grant a hearing. It is true that at the end there are three exceptions to that, but it is an ouster provision, is it not?
