When this matter was discussed on Committee Stage, I suggested that the Government's view is that it should be addressed by the making of an appropriate rule by the rules committee of the superior courts. I said I would bring the matter to the attention of the committee. I still believe that is the best way to deal with this issue. I do not believe we should clutter up legislation with procedural matters which should more properly and appropriately be dealt with in the rules of court, which provide for the implementation of the legislation before the courts.
