Before we finish the final parts of the Bill, I feel obliged to bring this up at this stage. I was encouraged by what the Minister said just before the break. Will an amendment be included to the effect that any rule of law prohibiting either a barrister or a legal practitioner from instituting or prosecuting legal proceedings to recover professional fees owed to them is hereby abolished? The Minister said it was his intention to look into that aspect.
