Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 July 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defamation Law.


Defamation Law

The hon. Gentleman mentioned cost-capping and the importance of speedy reform. Does he agree that costs have become so surreal that when capping is mentioned as a measure to try to reduce them, a great number of the legal fraternity argue that actually it could increase costs because of the cost of cost-capping meetings, and that, as a consequence, nothing happens?
