The concern we have is that by deleting the line in question, it makes all rulings virtually applicable on subsections (a) and (b), that is, the amount of each interim payment to be made and the amount of the final payment. Not all cases fall under those two categories - that is the point. There are other circumstances in any contractual relationship where they may not. If one takes out the words "or for an adequate mechanism" for determining these amounts, it becomes very rigid. While they might not be the majority examples, there might be other minority examples which I understand apply in certain circumstances. That is the concern we have with this. There needs to be some flexibility. What the Deputy proposes to do is to take that out.
