Judicial Review and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Judicial Review and Courts Bill.

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for giving way and I am pleased I have provided half his speech for him. I have an important point in support of his argument. Much of the Government’s argument on Cart appears to be that there are very few successful cases. First, I think they got that wrong—they thought it was less than 1%, but it is probably 6%. Secondly, the point the right hon. Gentleman is making is that, when they get it wrong, the consequences for the individual are dramatically bad. We must always think that through. When dealing with law, we must protect the weakest from the worst consequences.
