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
As other hon. Members have said, we made a distinction between limiting the uplift in defamation cases and limiting recoverability. Does my hon. Friend agree that in such cases the issue is reputation, and that damages should be secondary? It should be possible for claimants to share damages with solicitors in part to contribute to their costs. That would not be limited by capping recoverability from the other side.
