Proceeding contribution from Maria Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill.
Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill
He is making a common-sense assessment on the basis of the statutory framework that we are offering to him in lieu of the now no longer existing common-law good sense that he was applying before Davis. He is having a general look at the facts of the case and asking, ““Does this seem reasonable? Am I satisfied?”” I do not think that judges would find that unusual or alien to the way in which they do their job.
