I will not labour the point except to say - I will consider submitting an amendment on Report Stage - that it would not be unreasonable to consider at least some sort of provision where those who felt they had a stake in the outcome of those proceedings might be allowed to give evidence to the court as to why they think the decision to impose a sanction was a correct one. In other words, not only what MARA thought was relevant evidence but what that stakeholder or NGO felt was relevant to the considerations of the court.
