Right of Members to criticize a decision rendered by a court
The Speaker:...it is often the obligation of Members of Parliament to criticize a law. However, Members also realize it is not their place to castigate a court or judge or the decision rendered...
The Speaker rules that MPs can criticize laws but not judges or specific court rulings, especially during Statements by Members, as it is unparliamentary.
