Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 3 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].

Digital Economy Bill [HL]

My Lords, it was never the Government’s intention that a registry would have to pay compensation to any party affected by a serious failure of a domain registry. The words, ""any consequences of the failure"," were meant to ensure that a registry would ensure that the failure concerned never happened again, as well as correcting the failure itself. We fully realise that these words could be open to misinterpretation so we have decided simply to delete them. Instead, we propose to rely on the fact that when a registry takes steps to remedy a failure, it would want to make sure that the failure did not recur. I beg to move.
