Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
I move amendment No. 2:
In page 10, line 10, to delete ", in particular,".
As the provision stands, the use of the term "in particular" makes it unduly restrictive. For example, if it were claimed that all the Ministers for Justice in recent years were guilty of crime X, the term "in particular" restricts the grounds where one could say that one was defamed.
