I hope I am not confusing the issue, but amendment No. 3 proposes to delete the following:

"admissible complaint" means a complaint which---(a) is received by the Authority not later than 3 years after the occurrence of the act or omission which it is alleged constitutes misconduct (unless the complaint relates to fraud or dishonesty by a legal practitioner), or

(b) is not a complaint to which subsection(2), (3)or (4)of section 50 applies;

Will the Minister clarify what happens to complaints if that section is deleted? Would the three-year rule be retained or dropped elsewhere, and why is it proposed to remove the definition now?
