Clearly, there was an allusion towards notice-and-notice which is a favourable system that is currently being practiced vuluntarily in Canada. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that this will get lost in the debate when push comes to shove.

Still, it’s a step in the right direction to have judicial oversight in all of this because private interests should never replace a judicial system. A judicial system, however burdened, is there for a reason (it’s not suppose to be there for the reasons that is seemingly seen in Sweden, but one can always hope French justice is more fair than in Sweden).
