Access to Justice Act 1999 (Destination of Appeals) (Family Proceedings) Order 2009

My Lords, I am very grateful to both noble Lords for the care that they have taken to consider the order in detail. I am grateful for the unrestricted support from the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, and for the final comment of the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, that he does not intend to oppose the order today. As Shakespeare had it, ""for this relief much thanks"." I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, on a bravura performance in his analysis of this important order. Despite his concerns about two aspects—first, about second appeals, and, secondly, what he thinks he detects is a lack of confidence by the ministry in its analysis—the judiciary at the highest level do not share those concerns. He was good enough to make that point.
