Civil Liability and Courts Bill 2004: Committee Stage (Resumed).

 

12:00 pm

Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I move amendment No. 38:

In page 22, subsection (1), between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following paragraph:

"(g) the Child Abduction and Enforcement of Custody Orders Act 1991;".

Section 31 is a significant section which relates to the reporting of family law proceedings and the in camera rule, which has been a matter of almost as much discussion as civil liability claims, the Statute of Limitations and so on. A law practitioner has proposed the amendment to insert a reference to the child abduction Act for fairly obvious reasons. I would like to hear the Minister's thoughts on that before we move on to substantial amendments on this section.
