I understand the point the Deputy is making. We will have to look at this in more detail but, as I understand it, as it is currently, a third party cannot use it to bring proceedings. If this were passed as is, there is the first party - the owner, effectively. We are saying we are looking at changes for the third party and how they would flow through into this. The Deputy's scenario is that they have a copy of the first party declaration and are submitting it. I am advised the third party could not use that to bring proceedings but I expect that if you were going to court, you would have more than just a copy of a section 10 declaration that is made already. The third party would have to submit other evidence.
