There is one other point I wish to raise with Mr. Quattrociocchi. I have a recollection of a case relating to succession law where the High Court held that a piece of legislation - I think it was the Guardianship of Infants Act or the original legislation itself - was retrospective in application. What is the intention here? Is it retrospective or prospective?
