Compensation Bill [HL]

It would help if I said that running to the House of Lords is an expensive and rare business and that bold is he or she who runs to the House of Lords to seek the overturn of a recent decision. One is talking about the nub of the decision—the ratio of the decision. There is therefore some solace for the noble Earl in the Tomlinson decision. Incidentally, Lord Denning never got to the House of Lords, which was not an accident, because he was altogether too adventurous for their Lordships.
