They would primarily be considered by the complaints committee in the context of the individual issues which arise. Section 2(1) on admissible complaints is important, but it does not prescribe a limit where the complaint relates to fraud or dishonesty by a legal practitioner, which was the example I gave. We may need to do some tweaking. Primarily it would be an issue for the committee to make this decision. We are giving further consideration to it as we head into Report Stage.
