Section 249 provides for the ability to be able to correct "any error of law". We have had previous discussion on this. In my view, it is much too wide. There is a provision in the Act, under section 146A, to correct a small clerical-type error. Must the Bill also include scope to correct something that is not hugely significant and would not actually change the decision but would make the process right, without availing of this broad and sweeping statement to correct any error of law or fact? Should there be some scope for some level of correction?
