I just want to go back to something I said earlier on. Obviously the provision that exists in section 127 gives the right for the award of damages under the heading "Judicial remedy for infringement of relevant provision". However, section 116 deals with a similar topic, namely, "Judicial remedy for infringement of relevant enactment". Since we know from amendment No. 122 that there is the entitlement to award damages in respect of section 127, for consistency that provision should also exist in section 116. For that reason, there is merit in amendment No. 115. I just wanted to say that for the record.
