I move amendment No. 7:

In page 7, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:

"(2) Section 8 of the Principal Act is amended by the insertion of the following subsections after subsection (10):

"(11) The guiding principles contained in subsections (1) to (10) above shall be interpreted consistently with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in particular, Article 12, and General Comment 1 of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

(12) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as imposing any civil or criminal liability on an intervenor, who, in exercising his or her relevant powers, acted in good faith and in accordance with what, at the time in question, he or she reasonably believed to be the will and preferences of the relevant person.".".
