Clause 12
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill
1:15 pm
Vera Baird (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Redcar, Labour)
The question is one of the discretion to set a decision aside when the upper tribunal finds an error of law, and I remind the Committee that we are concerned with matters relating to the senior judiciary. An error of law might be found that none the less does not render the corresponding decision incorrect. To force the upper tribunal to set the decision aside in that situation would clearly not be wise. I hope that those few words of explanation will persuade the hon. Gentleman to withdraw his amendment.
