Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 4) (Coronavirus) Rules 2020

Debate between Lord Woolf and Lord Brougham and Vaux

Wednesday 23rd September 2020 Lords Chamber

[Lord Woolf (CB) [V]]

My Lords, this is not an area that I normally get involved in in this House. However, having read the papers which were available to me, I realised that there is a deep problem here. Sometimes it does not help to rush in with a solution that just involves depriving one set of people of all rights, as has been indicated by previous speakers. For that reason, and having looked at the statutory provisions, I would support the noble Lord, Lord Ponsonby, but only go that far.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Brougham and Vaux) (Con)]

The noble Baroness, Lady Bennett of Manor Castle, is with us.
