§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to allow a litigant to be represented in court by the person of his choice.
§ The Attorney-GeneralNo. The county courts and the magistrates' courts already have power to allow a litigant who does not wish to appear in person to be represented by someone who is not legally qualified and I do not think any wider right of the kind suggested would be in the public interest.
