Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 March 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010.
Damages-Based Agreements Regulations 2010
Why does the noble Lord not accept that the real problem here is defective libel law, which makes it much too easy for claimants to get an unjustified verdict in their favour, rather than making it possible for people with limited means to bring action against someone who may have libelled them?
