There is legal advice from the Attorney General stating the declarations cannot be deemed to be conclusive evidence. That concerns first- and third-party roles. If legally binding, the court cannot consider the background. It has to take it at face value. There is very strong advice to the effect that the Deputies' amendments seek to deem the relevant declarations to be conclusive evidence.
