Defamation Bill: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)
I do intend to look at it because when one includes the phrase "with the leave of the court" in legislation, one immediately sends a signal to the courts that they must be careful not to admit prejudicial evidence in a particular context. It might be useful to send such a signal in the context to which we are referring.
