The word "judgment" in a court ruling is normally spelled without the "e" whereas when spelled with the "e" it can mean other types of professional direction. I have asked different legal people and they have advised me about the interpretation. I will bring this amendment back on Report Stage and perhaps the Minister can seek advice. If a professional judgment were given, somebody could say that because it was not a court ruling, the Minister would not be bound to accept it. I have been caught before in other areas because of this elusive "e".
