Defamation (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee Stage (Resumed)

 

2:00 am

Nessa Cosgrove (Labour)

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, lines 27 and 28, to delete all words from and including “or” where it firstly occurs in line 27 down to and including line 28 and substitute the following: “or any question of fact or any issue arising in such action shall not be tried with a jury unless otherwise ordered. A court may order for trial with a jury where, having regard to the circumstances of the case, it is in the interest of justice to make such order.”.
