The Minister referred to people choosing who they want to represent them. Nobody has any problem with it and there is nothing in the amendments to suggest anything to do with people not having the complete right to choose who they want to represent them. All that is involved is the code of practice made by the commission. The commission makes the code of practice. This amendment would require people to abide by it, and I see no difficulty with it. If the chairman of the Labour Court makes a determination on the way business should be carried out, surely it should be a requirement that those representing plaintiffs in the Labour Court should observe them. I see no difficulty with it and it seems only good practice that would obviate a series of delays.
