Chapter
2 - Parliamentary Privilege: immunities and powers of the Senate
Reference to Senate proceedings in court proceedings
One of the
Privilege Resolutions (no. 10) declares that the permission of the Senate is
not required for reference in court proceedings to proceedings in the Senate,
and abolishes the former practice of petitioning for permission, while
enjoining the courts to have regard to the restrictions imposed upon them in
relation to the use which may be made of evidence of parliamentary proceedings.
