General Scheme of European Convention on Human Rights (compensation for delays in court proceedings) Bill 2019: Discussion
Ms Eilis Barry:
Our concern would be that if lawyers go to these assessors and there is no provision for some version of legal aid, whatever award they get will be diminished by the fees that they will inevitably end up paying the lawyers. That intersects with our point about how quantum is to be determined under the proposed legislation.
