Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]
3:30 pm
Tim Loughton (Shadow Minister (Children), Health; East Worthing and Shoreham, Conservative)
I agree with the Minister, but does she acknowledge that each time the victim of a breach of contract has to initiate action, he or she is usually subject to court costs of £175, which in many cases are not awarded in that person’s favour? It can be an expensive business having to come back to court each time for repeated breaches of contact that are not the fault of the person who is suffering from it.
