HC Deb 28 April 1972 vol 835 c1998

INTERPRETATION, APPLICATION TO ARBITRATIONS ETC. AND SAVINGS

Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. McLaren

The Clause merely defines "civil proceedings" and "court". The test of civil proceedings is whether they are proceedings in which the strict rules of evidence apply. Thus, arbitrations and references would be included, but not any form of criminal proceedings.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 5 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
