Parliamentary debate on libels and jury power in law
Mr Fox argues for jury practice to judge both law and fact in libel cases, challenges Lord Mansfield and Buller on special verdicts, and urges reforms to protect trial by jury. He reviews historic cases, warns against excessive Crown control, and hints at a future bill to fortify constitutional rights and jury independence.
