It's not possible to predict with certainty what the effect of repealing those provisions would be, but there are some legal principles to which we can turn to figure out what impact that might have. I think the starting point would be what these provisions did when they were enacted. The intention behind sections 27 to 29 was to state that nothing in the CVBR either granted or took away from victims any standing or any rights to bring actions that they had beforehand. It didn't create any new causes of action, and it didn't extinguish any.
