Second reading
Debate resumed on motion of Ms HENNESSY:
That this bill be now read a second time.
and Mr SOUTHWICK’s amendment:
That all the words after ‘That’ be omitted and replaced with the words ‘this bill be withdrawn and redrafted to:
(1) take into account further consultation about the benefits of removing the group costs orders and contingency fees provisions proposed for the Supreme Court Act 1986; and
(2) retain the remaining provisions of the bill.’
The SPEAKER (17:05): The minister has moved that the Justice Legislation Miscellaneous Amendments Bill 2019 be now read a second time. The member for Caulfield has moved a reasoned amendment to the motion. He has proposed to omit all of the words after ‘That’ and replace them with the words that appear on the notice paper. The question is:
That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question.
Therefore those supporting the reasoned amendment by the member for Caulfield should vote no.
