Mr Dominic Grieve (Shadow Attorney General, Home, Constitutional & Legal Affairs; Beaconsfield, Conservative)
I am trying to follow the Minister's comment about people contesting whether they are the right person to pay the sum. One would have thought that, if someone has been convicted of an offence of violence against another, such a contest would be pointless. In what circumstances do the Government envisage an alleged offender contesting whether the order should be made against him?
