We support the amendment of Deputy Doherty. It is a very big decision for a consumer to appeal a decision of the ombudsman top the High Court. Substantial legal costs are involved and consumers do not make the decision lightly. They should have the maximum possible time and the increase to 35 days is welcome to give them a window of opportunity to make what is a serious decision.
