I move amendment No. 6:
In page 10, line 7, to delete “or” where it secondly occurs.
I met the officials, as the Minister is aware. I have read this many times and I believe it causes confusion. It is a drafting issue in section 11(1)(a). I seek the advice of the Minister on this. Section 11(1) reads:
Subject to section 12and subsection (2), an appropriate person may, in the prescribed form and manner, make a claim for compensation to the Tribunal- (a) seeking damages for negligence, breach of duty, breach of statutory duty or breach of contract arising from any act or omission concerning CervicalCheck, or
How stands that final "or"? For me, there can be different interpretations when one reads the Bill further. The Minister was to look at this.
