Ms Caitriona Mason:

We are working with the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, OPC, and advisory counsel and they are alive to the possibility of challenges. The whole process of interaction and drafting is geared at protecting this legislation from possible challenges and sealing off the routes of different challenges. The OPC and advisory counsel are the ultimate experts on drafting legislation and ensuring it is sufficiently robust to survive challenges. It is a matter they are alive to and that we are alive to in the sense of revising and taking on board the advice they give.
