I thank the Chair for facilitating me. I thank the witnesses for all the work that has been done on this. I welcome their comments that they are listening to and taking on board the views that are being put forward during our pre-legislative scrutiny and will make changes on foot of that.

With regard to cost protection, the legal practitioners who appeared before the committee and who have a huge amount of experience were very clear and unambiguous in their view that the statutory entitlement from the Heather Hillcase is much better than an administrative scheme. Is Mr. Hogan saying the legal practitioners with all their experience are wrong on this?
