The judgment was only published yesterday. We will take time to examine it carefully and will move as quickly as possible, as Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin urged, to bring forward legislation. We welcome the judgment. I point out that the lower courts went the other way in this case, but the Supreme Court has now clarified the matter. However, there are other implications which must be considered and that will be done at the earliest possible opportunity.
