COMMERCIAL AND TENANCY TRIBUNAL BILL 1994

[COGNATE PAPERS AND BILL:

RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL TENANCIES - DRAFT CODE OF PRACTICE

AND DISCUSSION PAPER

MAGISTRATES COURT (CIVIL JURISDICTION)

(AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1994]

Debate resumed from 24 August 1994.

MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with the Retail and Commercial Tenancies Draft Code of Practice and Discussion Paper and the Magistrates Court (Civil Jurisdiction) (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1994? There being no objection, that course will be followed. I remind members that, in debating order of the day No. 1, they may also address their remarks to orders of the day Nos 2 and 3.

Detail Stage

Bill, by leave, taken as a whole

MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (4.25): This is, of course, a Bill of great significance and one that has been occupying the minds of many members of the Assembly over many months. We have a series of amendments before the Assembly, and I have discussed with the Opposition and with Mr Moore and Ms Szuty a process that might speed its passage. I have circulated a series of amendments on white paper which, together with a supplementary amendment on pink paper, may be referred to as the detailed technical amendments, and I would seek leave to move those as a block. I then circulated a supplementary set of amendments on green paper, which is a matter of some moment that I perhaps should refer to later for the record.

I present a supplementary memorandum to the Bill. I seek leave to move the detailed technical amendments together.

Leave granted.

MR CONNOLLY: I move:

Page 3, line 1, clause 3, definition of "key money", after paragraph (a), insert the following paragraph:
