We oppose the section in line with our opposition to the Bill. Of the 27 sections, only two sections are of merit, namely sections 25 and 26, which make necessary technical amendments. We agree with the Law Reform Commission's recommendations to provide for the abolition of the imprisonment of debtors except in the case of maintenance arising from family law, which is in line with international best practice on human rights. For the reasons outlined, we oppose the section.
