Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

It is hugely important that every issue raised by the Bar Council is examined. I ask that the Minister's lawyers look again at what the council has had to say. If there is something in what it has submitted which is different to my interpretation or if it has identified a provision which does not stand up legally we should, of course, table an amendment to the legislation next week. I would be the first to support that action. We are not in the business of railroading legislation through if there is any possibility that people will be worse off after it is introduced.
