I move amendment No. 51:

In page 24, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:

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

This amendment proposes that developments of two, three or four units should have owners' management companies. If this change is not made, the existing paragraphs of the Schedule will make little sense. I suppose it is a clarifying or drafting amendment to Schedule 1. It seeks to ensure sections 2 to 4, inclusive, which set out the circumstances in which owners' management companies are required, are listed in Schedule 1. I note that Schedule 1 is titled, "Provisions of this Act which apply to multi-unit developments comprising 2 or more units but less than 5 units". It is a very helpful explanatory heading, but no similar headings are given to Schedules 2 and 3. It might be useful to include such headings for ease of reference. They would make the Bill easier to access when one is looking for particular issues. I ask the Minister to include the provision I have proposed in Schedule 1.
