Will the Leader consider a re-examination of the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2013? There is a housing crisis on this island. Approximately 11,000 properties have been taken under judicial court procedure due to the implementation of this Act. One of the consequences of this is the fast-tracking of thousands of cases under a thing called the Circuit Court procedure. The Circuit Court sounds fine but it is the country registrar and not a judge who decides these issues. Many of these registrars are not really familiar with this area of the law. They are known as the eviction courts.
