The committee recommended legislative changes. One of the areas we focused on was that of the provisions that increased the monetary jurisdiction of the courts in 2014. We recommended that those provisions be reviewed. A further number of provisions in the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003 and the Courts and Civil Liability Act 2014 were not yet commenced. The committee felt that it might have a positive impact in terms of the task at hand if those provisions were commenced. Will the Minister of State comment on those observations?
