It's very difficult to predict any impact that legislative change will have on litigation. We know that many good pieces of legislation lead to litigation because you need to interpret new terminology that is in a statute. In some cases, clarifying certain things may lead to less litigation. For example, a deemed change may make it easier for somebody to make a point of going back to court and getting a variation of an access order. But in terms of what impact it will have, it's very difficult to predict.
