The collaborative style is highly consensus-driven, as all procedural decisions regarding the future progress of the draft legislation were adopted unanimously by the committee. This highlights a willingness for cross-party cooperation on procedural issues.

The cooperation approach is open and procedural, emphasizing the involvement of government representatives (Minister Erkki Keldo) and ministry experts (Maria-Helena Rahumets) in the commission's discussion. This demonstrates a willingness to cooperate with representatives of the executive power in clarifying the details of the draft bill.

The style of cooperation is consensus-based, given that all three procedural decisions were adopted unanimously by the Legal Affairs Committee. The speaker is collaborating with both the committee chairman (Andre Hanimägi) and the ministry representatives, posing questions to them.

The collaborative approach is presented as an internal consensus within the committee, where the majority rejected both external proposals and the amendments put forth by the Centre Party faction. A lack of openness to compromise is demonstrated, as the committee's position was to disregard the proposed amendments, with the exception of one procedural change.

The Speaker is acting on behalf of the committee majority (6 members: Haugas, Odinets, Pakosta, Raidma, Randpere, Toomast) to ensure the bill progresses. He/She collaborates closely with the Ministry of Justice, transmitting the minister’s explanations and rationale.

The style of cooperation is consensual and institutional, emphasizing the legal committee's unanimous decisions during the processing of the draft legislation and the adoption of procedural decisions. Cooperation was carried out with representatives of the Ministry of Justice (Martin Ziehr), and the opinions of the Tallinn Prison Committee and the Chancellor of Justice were taken into account. The amendments proposed by the committee itself were adopted by consensus.

The style of cooperation is consensual and smooth, as the committee made decisions quickly and uniformly. Cooperation with a representative of the Ministry of Justice is noted, which demonstrates a willingness to take the ministry's input into account. The objective is to ensure the swift and unimpeded progress of the draft legislation.
