Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords].


Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

In relation to the interim period and the certification by county court judges, the Minister will know well from her experiences, as the hon. Member for North-West Norfolk (Mr. Bellingham) and I do from ours, that county court judges vary in style, tradition and reputation. Some appear to be very much the friend of the landlord, and others seem to be much more the friend of the citizen. What guarantee is there that the process of certification will be a hands-on process, and that the county court judges will be accountable, through that system, to the Ministry of Justice, so that they do their job properly if there are real concerns?
