It's unlikely that it would be an issue. Given the nature of the power we're talking about in terms of the suspension or disconnection of service, in plain language, it would be used only for a serious issue. Otherwise, there are less intrusive means that could be used, most likely.
The main issue when we looked at this is that it's a bit odd in its drafting given the other parts of the bill. As I mentioned, it's a bit odd to put this in when there's already the reasonable grounds proportionality consideration, because that's already all we need to tell you—that you could use it only for a serious threat. When we engage with the lawyers, sometimes they frown and are concerned about that. Other than some potentially awkward drafting, we didn't identify major concerns with the word “serious”.
