Defamation Bill: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)
The correction seems to apply only to declaratory orders. The section refers to where the defendant has no defence to the action, the same wording used in the declaratory order. That is the intention. The prominence of the correction, to which the Minister referred, is appropriate.
Is the High Court the only court with the jurisdiction to issue a correction order or would this extend to the Circuit Court?
