Recommendation
In response to this report, the Government should provide this Committee with a clear timeline in which it plans to review the effectiveness of the SLAPPs provisions in the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. The Government should also set out the criteria it intends to use to assess whether these provisions have worked as intended. The Government should use the results of this review to inform the drafting of future legislation to address SLAPPs that are not related to economic crime.
