I move amendment No. 66:

In page 33, line 27, after “section 34(5),” to insert “or an appeal from any decision of the High

Court under sections 35 to 37,”.

This amendment ensures consistency is applied in how various types of appeals to the courts are treated. Essentially, the additional text clarifies that regardless of which court might be hearing an appeal, the same rules relating to the applicability of a screening decision, the treatment of evidence, and the hearing of matters in public apply. This was always the intent of the published draft but after consultation and on reflection, the Bill will benefit from the clarity provided by this amendment.
