Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just so we are clear, the district education authority cannot fine a student. They can only lay the charge. The courts themselves would determine whether or not there is a legitimate reason to fine or the extent of the penalty. For that matter, it may not be a fine. The court process will then be used as the basis for the appeal. But they cannot fine an individual; they can only lay the charge and the penalty can then be determined by the courts.
