Proceeding contribution from Lord True (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

On the question of litigation, will the noble Lord answer the point that my noble friend Lord Greaves and I made? If we are concerned about litigation, surely the construction of his proposed new subsection (2)(c), "““as is appropriate in the circumstances of the case””," which may, as construed with the rest of the section, apply to any decision of any form made by a councillor, is pretty ripe for litigation. Therefore, I do not think his argument that the Government may cause more litigation stands up. Let him answer on this one.
