Debate

Courts and Tribunals Bill

Contribution

This amendment is intended to clarify that a court may refuse to admit evidence about a complainant’s sexual history under new section 41(2)(a) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 if it considers that doing so would entail disproportionate consideration of collateral issues (commonly referred to as “satellite litigation”).
