Suspended Sentences
Asked by: Lord Sandhurst (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Friday 2nd August 2024 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to impose a duty on the Courts to suspend custodial sentences of 12 months or less. Answered by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) There are no plans to impose a duty on the Courts to suspend custodial sentences of 12 months or less.
We intend to launch an independent review of sentencing. While the terms of reference are not yet defined, this will look to ensure the sentencing framework is consistent and clear to the public. We will announce more details of this review in due course. |

Civil Proceedings: Finance
Asked by: Lord Sandhurst (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary) Thursday 1st August 2024 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to by reintroduce the Litigation Funding Agreements (Enforceability) Bill, originally introduced in the last Parliament, and if not, what steps they plan to take to mitigate the impact on third party litigation funding of the judgment in R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) v Competition Tribunal and others, [2023] UKSC 28. Answered by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government recognises the critical role third-party litigation funding plays in ensuring access to justice.
Following the PACCAR judgment, concerns have been raised about the need for greater regulation of Litigation Funding Agreements, or greater safeguards for claimants.
The Government is keen to ensure access to justice in large-scale and expensive cases, whilst also setting up adequate safeguards to protect claimants from unfair terms.
The Civil Justice Council is considering these questions and others in its review of third-party litigation funding, and hopes to report in summer 2025. The Government will take a more comprehensive view of any legislation to address issues in the round once that review is concluded. |
