Amendment No. 22 proposes to provide for a copy of the temporary prohibition order and affidavit to be served on the relevant person as well as the decision supporter. The existing provision already includes that the director may serve a copy of the order on another identified person, with the approval of the court, which may, and in the vast majority of cases will, include the relevant person. However, the power has been left discretionary to provide leeway for unforeseen operational circumstances during the operation of the Act. I take it that Deputy Sherlock is not satisfied with that in terms of protecting the rights of the relevant person.
