21 Apr 2026 Courts and Tribunals Bill (Eighth sitting)
The point is that the premise of his inclination was that it is appropriate for thresholds to be changed. Although there will absolutely be principled disagreement between different advocates about where that threshold will be and the appr…
21 Apr 2026 Courts and Tribunals Bill (Eighth sitting)
