I move amendment No. 72:

In page 21, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:

"1. Sections 2 to 4 (obligation to have owners' management company).".

This amendment seeks to ensure that a two, three or four unit development would still have a management company, otherwise it was thought the existing paragraphs of the Schedule would have made little sense. I am not sure if that is already covered in Government amendment No. 17 which deals with smaller multi-unit developments. I would welcome clarification on that issue. Government amendment No. 17 sought to insert a new section 2. It relates to the application of the Act to multi-unit developments comprising two or more units but less than five units. I understand that a modified version of the Bill is to apply to them. Notwithstanding that, would our amendment still be required? It may be superseded.
