General Scheme of European Convention on Human Rights (compensation for delays in court proceedings) Bill 2019: Discussion
Mr. Micheál P. O'Higgins:
I respectfully agree. I would have thought it should be obvious, but it may be that the view was, if it was a court-based or court-caused delay, let us lift it out of the courts and have a compensation system for that delay. We feel that would not be a strong reason to lift it out of the custom-built system that normally adjudicates on the question of competing rights, that being, the courts.
