A Bill to make provision for the effect of an apology in certain legal proceedings.
House of Commons
4 May 2021
This Bill would spell out how apologies are treated in certain legal proceedings. It aims to clarify the legal impact of apologies—such as whether an apology affects liability or can be used as evidence—and sets rules to guide apologies in those contexts.
The Bill is at the second reading in the Commons, where MPs debate its general principles. If approved, it will move on to detailed scrutiny in committee and then further stages.
