Clause 59 - Appeal against disqualification
Crime (International Co-operation) Bill [Lords]
5:15 pm
Mr James Paice (South East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 110, in
clause 59, page 39, line 31, leave out 'given to' and insert 'served upon'.
Some might call this amendment a quibble over legal jargon. We are suggesting that the words ''given to'' do not constitute a legal term, and that the use of the term ''served upon'' would be more appropriate. I am not sure what in legal terms would be defined as having been ''given to'' the applicant, where as ''served upon'' is clearly a recognised legal statement about the method of that service. ''Given to'' is a much looser phrase, at least as I understand it; I am not a lawyer. I am not sure whether it is definitive enough.
