Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage
12:10 pm
Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail)
I move amendment No. 6:
In page 16, lines 10 to 12, to delete all words from and including “under” in line 10 down to and including line 12 and substitute “to which Schedule 2 refers, or”.
This group of amendments makes changes to section 18 of the Bill, which concerns alternatives to legal proceedings. Amendments Nos. 6 and 7 make minor drafting changes to sections 34I and 34J. Amendments Nos. 8 and 9 concern the insertion of a new subsection into section 34J that provides that the court may adjourn proceedings to enable compliance with certain requirements of subsection (1) relating to provision by a solicitor of an accompanying statutory declaration.
