Mr. Patrick O'Connor:

They are currently in draft form. It is important we have a consultation about them. They are all subject to the approval of the Minister ultimately. I am a firm believer in the use of plain language. I edited a document some years ago for the National Adult Literacy Agency, NALA, on the use of plain language for legal or quasi-legal proceedings. It is important we keep this process as simple as possible and not get bogged down in legal jargon. That is the point from where I am coming on the drafting of the tribunal’s rules. Hopefully, they will be relatively simple for people to follow. At the end of the day, it will be mainly individuals and not too many professionals coming before the tribunal.
