I move amendment No. 119:

In page 81, between lines 43 and 44, to insert the following:

"

21Section 38(2)Substitute:

“(2) If a credit union knowingly charges or accepts interest on a loan at a rate greater than that permitted under this section--

(a) all the interest agreed to be paid by the member shall be deemed to have been waived by the credit union; and

(b) any interest paid on the loan shall be recoverable summarily by the member (or his personal representative) as a simple contract debt.”.

".
