Dominic Raab has resigned (again) but will the Bill of Rights Bill go too? NLJ columnist Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC hopes so.
As he writes in this week’s issue, the consultation paper for the Bill ‘met almost universal hostility’ and the subsequent Bill has proved equally unpopular.
Bindman writes: ‘Frankly, the Bill is a mess, and the only sensible course of action is to withdraw it again.’
However, he notes others in the government have membership of the European Convention on Human Rights in their crosshairs. Consequently, he exhorts lawyers always to defend human rights and the rule of law.
