Clause 77 - Bail and custody during and after hearing
Criminal Justice Bill
6:30 pm
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister. The point that I was trying to make was that this is not a routine procedure but an extraordinary procedure that we have accepted. It should not be embarked on lightly by the state, precisely because of the civil liberties implications. Surely compensation is justified if the state is found by a jury to have got it wrong.
