It has. That is where it all falls down and breaks down. The RTB is not a court but it is a quasi-judicial process that is entered into. In my view, there should not be longer than a three-month period from a determination to enforcement. That could be brought forward in this legislation. This issue has an interaction with the Department of Justice, of course. Has there been any engagement with the Department of Justice on this? In my mind, whatever about the period of a determination, the process that follows is unacceptable. For all parties, both tenants and landlords, it would restore faith in the process. It would give landlords, who we need in the market, confidence. We all know there are no issues with 96% of tenancies but where an issue arises, they are generally big issues and big problems that involve a significant loss of money.
