Recommendation 40
40
Paragraph: 202
Anti-SLAPP legislation is unlikely to be supported by everyone in the legal profession.
Conclusion
Anti-SLAPP legislation is unlikely to be supported by everyone in the legal profession. Some concerns are valid, others less so. The Ministry of Justice must learn lessons from the experience of developing the Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation Bill introduced in the previous session of Parliament. We heard that it was initially drafted in ways that would make the situation worse. We would like to understand the process by which this came about.
