I move amendment No. 2:

In page 23, line 21, to delete “subject to subsection (8),”.

This is a technical amendment and is similar to amendment No. 1 in that it removes a proviso, in this case that section 24(6)(d) is subject to subsection 8 of that section. Again, the proviso is unnecessary because subsection (8), which sets out further grounds for refusal to endorse a judgment, does not relate to subsection (6)(d). The purpose of the amendment is to provide greater clarity by deleting text that is superfluous.
