Clause 57
Counter-Terrorism Bill
12:45 pm
Elfyn Llwyd (Parliamentary Leader; Meirionnydd Nant Conwy, Plaid Cymru)
The right hon. and learned Gentleman will recall that during our last sitting, we discussed a possible challenge by an innocent third party whose property had been confiscated. Subsection (4)(b), to which he referred, states that proceedings can be conducted
“in the absence of any person, including a party to the proceedings”.
Where does that leave the innocent third party if that property belongs to him?
