I move amendment No. 8:

In page 16, between lines 38 and 39, to insert the following: “(3) If the originating document referred to in subsection (2) is not accompanied by a statutory declaration made in accordance with that subsection, the court concerned shall adjourn the proceedings for such period as it considers reasonable in the circumstances to enable the practising solicitor concerned to comply with paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (1) and provide the court with such declaration or, if the solicitor has already complied with subsection (1), to provide the court with such declaration.”.
