Exactly.

It is important the processes work and if they are not working that there is some mechanism to ensure they work. Obviously, when an appeal is found on facts which turn out not to be facts or to be fabricated, misrepresented or whatever, the decision of such an appeal has a questionable basis and it is important we have a mechanism to address that. I will have to consider the point the Minister has made in respect of the review. My request here had been for a judicial review because judicial reviews obviously consider how decisions were arrived at, rather than necessarily the outcome. I am going to have to consider that. Can the Minister inform me when that decision was arrived at and when the review began?
