JUSTICE welcomes the considerable amendments made to the #REULBill in last night's debate in the @UKHouseofLords.

This critical stage included widely reported Govt concessions (to provide a list of what retained EU law is being repealed) but also three Govt defeats. (1/8)

Of particular note are the amendments passed to Clauses 1 and 4, the "sunset clauses".

The amendments allow Parliament to scrutinise the revocation of retained EU law, rather than delegating the task to Government ministers and civil servants. (2/8)

JUSTICE is delighted to launch its new Working Party looking at "Hybrid Orders".

Hybrid Orders are orders obtained via a civil procedure, that seek to restrict a person’s behaviour for a preventative purpose and that have criminal consequences if breached. (1/6) Examples of such orders include Public Space Protection Orders, Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions, Community Protection Notices, Gang Injunction and Knife Crime Prevention Orders, amongst others. (2/6)

This thread covers Part 2 (the criminal sections) of the #JRandCourtsBill #JudicialReviewBill which make significant, and potentially very damaging changes to how the criminal courts work.

There’s so much wrong with this part, and we’ve set out key examples below → (1/17) Clause 3 would introduce a new way for people accused of crimes that are not punishable with prison to plead guilty entirely online.

It builds on the existing ‘single justice procedure’. (2/17)

MPs will shortly debate the Judicial Review and Courts Bill #JRandCourtsBill #JudicialReviewBill.

This thread covers Part 1 of the Bill which relates to judicial review (1/10) → Clause 1 would introduce two new remedies for #judicialreview – prospective only quashing orders and suspended quashing orders. (2/10)
