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

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, very soon after making those statements to the Select Committee, the previous Lord Chancellor was open-minded enough to change his mind completely? He added the issue of libel tourism firmly to the remit of the libel working group, and one of the four main areas on which it reported at the end of March was libel tourism and reforms to court procedures to stop abuse of process and abuse of forum.
