HC Deb 25 July 1990 vol 177 c610
The Attorney-General

I beg to move amendment No. 167, in page 71, line 42, leave out subsection (6) and insert—

'(6) The following sections shall cease to have effect—

  1. (a) 46 (warrant granted on conviction or order made by another justice);
  2. (b) 47 (exercise of discretionary powers);
  3. (c) 48 (compliance with, or confirmation on appeal to, superior court);
  4. (d) 49 (distress warrant for rates);
  5. (e) 51 (no action in county court if defendant justice objects);
  6. (f) 52 (limitation of damages against justice); and
  7. (g) 54 (provisions as to prerogative proceedings and membership of Crown Court).'.

Madam Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to discuss Government amendment No. 174.

The Attorney-General

These amendments tidy up the provisions relating to the liability of magistrates for damages and costs. If I attempted to explain how they do that, I should need tidying up myself.

Amendment agreed to.
