Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will make it her policy to ensure that civil and family courts are made aware of the criminal convictions or details of prohibition orders of plaintiffs.

The Government has no current plans to introduce new procedures as the courts have powers to deal with unmeritorious claims and applications. The court can strike out any action it views as an abuse of process or issue an order restricting the litigant’s ability to continue with further applications or claims, either of its own motion or on request by a party to the proceedings.
