Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) (Amendment) Order 2009.
Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) (Amendment) Order 2009
One has to compare common law legal systems, not common law with civil law. They are entirely different. If one, for example, deals with costs in Strasbourg and cost orders, it is always the case that English practitioners’ costs are much higher than those in continental countries, but if one compares the costs with Canada, Australia, South Africa, the United States or any common law countries, one sees that it is a totally different picture. One is comparing apples with cement.
