The witnesses mentioned the difficult case in England where people were considering how to bypass consent. It is an issue for many people to think this would be allowed for one case, especially if it could be misused by a court at any other stage. What are the conversations around this? What safeguards are in place with regard to the idea that consent would be removed or with regard to giving a judge the ability to remove consent? I imagine this would be very problematic for many people.
