Recommendation (the committee's words)
We recommend that legislative intervention by Parliament in this area should only be resorted to in defined and exceptional circumstances. We note that the Government has included a partial and qualified ouster clause in clause 2 of the Judicial Review and Courts Bill. The default position is that matters of justiciability should be determined by the courts. It is for Parliament to determine whether the ouster clause in this Bill is acceptable .
