Re: Cautiously optimistic [Emergency provision]
@IT Hack: This is exactly the detail that needs thinking about. I absolutely can see there being a need for the provision. I also see how it can be abused. The question is - what is the impact of abuse. For example, if the judge then refuses to sign off, will that immediately be referred to IOCCO? Will it be made public, or will the subject be made aware so that they can sue. Or will it be hushed up?
If the latter - the provision is bad! If some of the former, the political risk of abuse could be high enough to make sure that abuse doesn't happen.
