I congratulate Mr. O'Connor on his appointment.
I congratulate Mr. O'Connor on his appointment. The question I wished to ask has been partially answered already. It relates to how grounds for an appeal to the tribunal might work or how the tribunal's approach might differ from the way the regulator originally looked at it. In other words, is there a framework or will criteria be laid down, a set of three or four grounds, for example? Will it focus mainly on the decision of the regulator in a narrow sense or will Mr. O'Connor be interpreting it in a broader sense? What is the type of framework under which an appeal will be able to reach his office having been refused by the regulator?
