I move amendment No. 27:

In page 15, before section 9, to insert the following new section:15.—(1) If the Authority is not satisfied with the response received from the professional body concerned under section 13(4), the Authority may direct the body concerned to implement any recommendation made by it under section 14(1) or such amended recommendation as the Authority may make under section 14(3) having regard to such response as was received from the Bar Council or Law Society.
(2) The direction issued under subsection (1) shall specify a time-period, not later than 90 days, within which the direction shall be implemented by the body in question.
(3) On application by the chairman of the Bar Council or by the President of the Law Society within 28 days of the issuance of such a direction, the President of the High Court may revoke or vary a direction given by the Authority under subsection (1) where the President of the High Court considers that the direction is oppressive, unreasonable, unnecessary or contrary to the overriding public interest in the proper and effective administration of justice or he or she may confirm the direction.”.
