The rules of the High Court apply here on this. We are trying to find a better pathway than going to the High Court. Mr. Justice Meenan outlined how he believes this is better. It is heard in private, there are written statements, experts are available to the judges, there are case management protocols and so on, but we are still applying the fundamental rules of law which would apply in the High Court. These are issues which the High Court grapples with now every day. The Deputy is correct about taking in the whole impact of wrongdoing on a person.
