The Minister is right to say that we must consider the whole of subsection (7), which prescribes the only circumstances in which the court may vary the amount found as benefit. If the court is given the power to vary the order, and to decide that the amount to be paid is just, its final decision is not constrained, whatever circumstances led it to make the calculation. That is my point.
