I move amendment No. 2:

In page 4, to delete lines 10 to 16 and substitute the following:“ “(4A) This section shall not operate to prevent—

(a) a transmission under subsection (2) (including one that effects the issue of a summons in accordance with subsection (2A)) containing information relating to different summonses, or

(b) a transmission under subsection (4) containing more than one application referred to in subsection (3).”,”.

This amendment is proposed to be made to section 2(b). Section 2(b) provides for the insertion of a new subsection 4A into section 1 of the Courts (No. 3) Act 1986. Amendment No. 2 proposes to replace the wording of section 4A with alternative wording. This alternative wording arises from the further work of the Advisory Counsel and Parliamentary Counsel aimed at expressing in a more precise manner the reality that a single transmission by electronic means can, in respect of more than one summons, or more than one application, be made for a summons. This provision allows for the automated processing within an information technology environment of batches of summonses or applications of summonses.
