The Office of the Parliamentary Legal Adviser, OPLA, has given a different opinion. It has said that retrospection does not apply currently but if it did apply, it would have a different opinion of the Bill. When it was forming its opinion on the legislation as currently proposed, the Department took the view that retrospection would apply. Is that correct?
