Iains BS: 'Sir' Philip Green (298* d) RE: BS: 'Sir' Philip Green 31 Oct 18


"Hain breached the injunction, but he is protected from the consequences of this because of parliamentary privilege"

You may be right, we shall see.

Meanwhile the Times today. The Lord Chancellor:
“Therefore, I have serious concerns about the use of parliamentary privilege to undermine the rulings of our independent judiciary. Where judges have seen fit to make a court order, their rulings should be respected. It is particularly hard to justify using parliamentary privilege when the court process is ongoing.”
"“You will all have seen the coverage of Lord Hain’s decision to make use of parliamentary privilege to name an individual despite the existence of a court order,” he told a gathering of judges and lawyers in London..........

Freedom of speech, Mr Gauke said, was “an important constitutional principle” but “so, too, is respect for the rule of the law and the jurisdiction of the courts”.



Early days I suspect. Thus far the language is tempered.
