Thank you for that. I understand that they are subject to the safety net and subject to the modernisation but the nature of awards is changing. Where awards were previously used for resolutions of disputes they needed a duration but they do not need that any more because the nature of them is changing. I wonder whether that is a carry-on from the old act or whether there is another specific purpose that I do not understand.
