Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
I am having trouble with a small point, about which the noble and learned Lord knows. I am not happy about the words "a reasonable jury" in subsection (2) of the proposed new clause. In my view, all juries are deemed to be reasonable. Would it not make more sense if the word "reasonable" was omitted and, after the word "might", the word "reasonably" were inserted?
