These amendments ought to be uncontroversial. It ought to be a cross-party issue that the courts are in a proper state to deal with the expected increase in workload; otherwise, what we are doing is putting the legislative cart before—with all due respect—the judicial horse. We should not legislate to give people rights that they cannot vindicate. We should not legislate to give people rights that mean that other people need to go to court in response to those rights, and they cannot vindicate their position either. That is a very real concern.
