Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

I am grateful to the Minister for his reply. I take from it that it is open to a defendant to challenge the fairness of a conviction anywhere outside the European Union—that if there is an attempt to use a conviction obtained in some foreign country outside the EU against him, he can raise with the judge the fairness of his trial.
