The Lords get the debate underway
The House of Lords has had the briefest debate about the Jackson report on costs reform. You don’t have to go to the law library as Hansards comes to you on line – you can see the debate here.
Not a lot was said other than the fact that the government is now “actively assessing the implications” of the report. Lord Woolf asked how long it will be before we see any action taken. He may as well have asked how long is a piece of string. Lord Bach informed the House that the report requires a great deal of analysis and wondered if Lord Jackson wanted all the recommendations implementing as a package or not implementing at all!
Oh, and by the way, there’s an election coming up so don’t hold your breath.
Do you think Sir Rupert’s report has to be implemented in full or should the Ministry of Justice cherry pick the recommendations?
