General Scheme of the Criminal Law and Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Liam Herrick:
The specific intention here seems to be to deal with the public order context, for example, around public demonstrations and protests. There are specific constitutional rights and rights under the European Convention of Human Rights that are stronger in that instance. We have seen this type of legislation playing out in other ways with unintended consequences.
