Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [HL]

had given notice of his intention to move Amendment No. 78:"Page 6, line 8, at end insert—" ““(   )   The Commissioner may, whether or not the case is funded or assisted by him, appear as amicus curiae to assist the court.”” The noble Lord said: Since I tabled this amendment, I have received advice from a colleague learned in the law that a provision such as proposed in the amendment is unnecessary, as it is already the law that it should be possible for the commissioner to act as amicus curiae—with the leave of the court, of course. Therefore, I shall not move the amendment. [Amendment No. 78 not moved.] Clause 8, as amended, agreed to. Clause 9 [Examination of cases]: [Amendment No. 79 not moved.]
