Temporary Deputy Chairman, we are seeking to allow Magistrates’ Courts to determine claims that relate to employment, labour relations, environment and land matters that are subject to the limitation as has already been approved under Clause 7. Previously, the Magistrates’ Courts were not entertaining issues concerning employment and land. We are now giving them jurisdiction subject to their pecuniary limitations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.
