Professor John Mee:

It is merited if it is done carefully and that will require quite a bit of work. This Bill is unusual because the LRC does not usually draft a Bill in final form. My experience is that Bills often change quite a bit from the time they are drafted to the time they go through the parliamentary office and so on. That is part of the development process and this Bill needs quite a bit of development. The Legislature has to get the Bill right because one slip can have significant consequences, like section 120(1) of the 1965 Succession Act, which had the Nevins in court for 23 years after the event. One has to get it right or it is painful.
