My question is directly related to the latter. Is there recourse in law for the applicant besides a penalty? I think the penalty is farcical. Where will the board get the money? It is no penalty to those who are now going to be charged in the special unit. What happens if an applicant chooses to take legal action against the board for not making a decision within the prescribed period? Has the Minister an opinion on the matter? Has he received legal advices as to whether there is an avenue open for applicants to take a legal case against the board for not meeting the time stipulated? Can he comment on the matter? I do not know whether he has checked the matter with the Attorney General.
