I move amendment No. 17:

In page 19, line 40, to delete “entered into under section 15Z” and substitute “imposed under section 15X in accordance with section 15Z”.

This amendment removes a section of the published Bill that allowed for an adjudication officer to impose a structural or behavioural remedy where the undertaking has consented. It is still possible for an undertaking to agree to a sanction but this is now to be done under section 15X with reference to section 15Z. This was done to reduce the complexity where an undertaking consents to implementing a structural or behavioural remedy. Adjudication officers will still have the power to impose structural or behavioural remedies where they are necessary and the undertaking does not have to consent to take action without it being imposed. These will be subject to court approval in the same way as other sanctions, including administrative and financial sanctions imposed by a decision by an adjudication officer or approved by the court.
