### sec.120PA Required consultation for amendment
Before QCA may make the amendment it must prepare a draft of the amendment and engage in the consultation prescribed under a regulation.
However, subsection (1) does not apply if QCA considers the amendment—
is needed urgently; or
does not materially detriment anyone’s interests; or
is of an uncontroversial nature; or
corrects an error.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (2) (d) applies even if the correction is materially detrimental to someone’s interests.
