Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage
The House will be aware that yesterday for the first time, relying on the provisions of section 40 of the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004, which relaxed the in camera rule, a series of reports were prepared and published by Ms Carol Coulter on the operation of the family law system. It is intended to confer a privilege in regard to a fair and accurate report of family law proceedings. This was a lacuna we discovered in the law.
