Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017

Professor John Mee:

I understand the nature of the submission and it makes more sense than what is contained in the Bill. I know that Deputy O'Callaghan did not draft this element but the idea of discretion seems unjustifiable. It is like saying it is unconstitutional but that we will do it sometimes on some arbitrary basis.
