Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Non-court-based Conflict Resolution Mechanisms for Media-related Complaints: Discussion
Mr. Rory Montgomery:
I find it almost impossible to imagine how it would work in all honesty, with the Press Ombudsman. I imagine almost every financial settlement would be appealed to the Press Council. I have no idea on what basis we would try to apply such a system or come to a judgment. Really, it is something we do not want and are not seeking.
