    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the amendments proposed by the Committee only went to the name of this body. This body was previously called “The Advocates Disciplinary Committee”. I have proposed that it should be called “The Advocates Disciplinary Tribunal”. We are changing it from a committee to a tribunal. The history of this matter, very briefly, is that the advocates used to self regulate when the profession was first corporatized in the 1940s. Two members would sit together as a committee to hear disciplinary complaints against their members. As we have evolved as a profession, we now have what is really a quasi- judicial body and it is a tribunal. It has a prosecutor and the person brought before it can bring his or her advocate and we are just getting the nomenclature correct. I would urge Members to allow it."
