    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Schedule to the Bill be amended by deleting the proposed amendment to the Law of Succession Act. The rationale is that this amendment proposes to empower the court to restrict those people who appear when succession matters are being dealt with. The practice of handling matters in camera exists and ought to be left to the court’s discretion on a case by case basis rather than anchoring the same in law for succession matters only. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we do not want to dictate to the courts as to when to exclude people when dealing with succession matters in court. We should leave it to the discretion of courts to decide on whether to allow or not to allow presence of parties in that particular situation."
