GUARDIANSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTY BILL 1991
Detail Stage
Consideration resumed.
Amendment agreed to.
MADAM TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Stefaniak, do you wish to move your amendments Nos 2 and 3 together?
MR STEFANIAK (4.31): Yes, I do, thank you. I move:
Page 15, line 15, paragraph 35(c), omit "who has attained the age of 18 years".
Page 15, line 19, add at the end the following subclause:
"(2) Subsection (1) shall not be taken to limit the persons to whom notice of the inquiry may be given.".
Firstly, I seek to delete the words "who has attained the age of 18 years" so that it is each child of the person if they are under that age. The second amendment adds an additional class, which the community groups wanted to ensure that everything was covered. Anyone who has been left out can be covered. The president of the tribunal can give notice to those persons, again as far as practicable, as Mr Collaery's amendment now reads. I commend to the House those two amendments which were sought by the various community groups.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 36 to 55, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 56
MR STEFANIAK (4.33): I move:
Page 21, line 18, paragraph 56(1)(a), after "appeared" insert ", or was entitled under subsection 36(1) to appear,".
This refers to the class of persons we just dealt with in clause 35, and I think it is most important. Clause 56(1)(b) takes care of the persons mentioned in clause 36(2), so there is no need for further amendment there. When you read those clauses together you see the need, as pointed out by a number of community groups, for the amendment which I have just moved.
Amendment agreed to.
