Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) (Amendment) Bill, 2003: Committee and Remaining Stages.
10:45 am
John Dardis (Progressive Democrats)
Section 2(1A)(b), states that the chairman of the tribunal shall "have regard to any report of the tribunal relating to its proceedings in the period before his or her appointment". I would have thought the chairman of the tribunal would have had regard to such a report without it being specified in the legislation. I understand the cost aspect but I do not understand why this needs to be specified in the legislation.
