§ Mr. KELLYasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there is no remedy at law by persons aggrieved by acts of members of the Bar in carrying out their professional duties and that there is no remedy against persons holding high judicial office short of an Address to His Majesty from Parliament in a case of alleged grievance; and whether he will introduce legislation removing this immunity?
§ Sir J. SIMONI have been asked to reply. I am aware that barristers cannot be sued at law for negligence in carrying out their profession duties. Disciplinary action can be taken against a barrister by the Inn of Court of which he is a member. The answer to the second part of the question is "Yes", and the answer to the third part is "No".
