I move amendment No. 273:

In page 157, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: “(4) Where the Commission assigns a legal representative from a panel to an affected person under subsection (3), the Commission shall assign the legal representative who was previously assigned by the Commission on behalf of the person in respect of a relevant matter specified in paragraph (a) of section 195 unless—
(a) the legal representative previously assigned is unavailable, or

(b) the person wishes to be provided with the services of a legal representative on the panel other than the legal representative previously assigned.”.
