Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 December 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Approved Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2011.
Marriages and Civil Partnerships (Approved Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2011
No respectable member of the Bar, properly informed and reading the statute as a whole, if asked whether there was a reasonable chance of success, would be likely to say that there were. Anyone who brought such a challenge would have to find public funds or their own funds to do so and they would fail at first instance, in the Court of Appeal and in the Supreme Court.
