Yes, but I am asking for the detail of that advice. What was so solid about the advice that the council could not continue with its previous code, which prohibited lay ownership? The Act is silent on the matter. Did that legal advice not then leave it open and give the council discretion to continue to prohibit lay ownership on the basis that it could have an impact on the operation of practices?
