Thank you.
I'd like to thank both professors for being here. I appreciate it very much.
Professor Condon, you talked about how there were no specific remedies for principles being breached. Then you said, I think helpfully, that there's accountability to Parliament, for the Attorney General can talk about the decision that he or she made, and there are legal accountability mechanisms. You referred to the abuse of process doctrine, among other things.
There's an additional remedy that I'd like to ask you to comment on. It was described by criminal defence lawyer Joseph Neuberger, who said that if there was a genuine attempt by anyone in the Prime Minister's Office to speak with the Attorney General about ending an investigation or criminal prosecution of any type, that could amount to obstruction of justice and/or interference with a public official.
Do you accept that this could be the consequence for inappropriate interference with the exercise of independent prosecutorial discretion?
