I move amendment No. 16:

In page 4, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following:

“Amendment of section 57CL of Principal Act

6. Section 57CL of the Principal Act (as inserted by section 16 of the Act of 2004) is amended by substituting the following for subsection (3):“(3) An appeal under this section must be made—

(a) within 30 days of the date of the notification of the decision of the Financial Services Ombudsman, or

(b) within such further period as the High Court may allow.”.”.

I understand that amendments Nos. 16 and 17 concern the time limits to appeal to the High Court. Given the fact the suggested amendment of 30 days from the Government is similar to Deputy Doherty's proposal of 35 days, I have no objections to Deputy Doherty's amendment.
