I move amendment No. 124:

In page 34, to delete lines 24 to 30 and substitute the following:“23. (1) This section applies where—
(a) the court has made a declaration which falls within paragraph (a) of section 15(1), but—
(i) there is no suitable person to act as co-decision-maker for the relevant person, or

(ii) where there is a suitable person to act as co-decision-maker for the relevant person, a co-decision-making agreement in respect of the relevant person is not registered in accordance with Part 4 within the period (which may be extended at the court’s discretion) set down by the court,

or
(b) the court has made a declaration in respect of a relevant person which falls within paragraph (b) of section 15(1).”.
