I am hearing Mr. Neilan loud and clear but I am still not getting my question answered. I understand it was not in the contract and that it was not a condition of sale but my question is, why was it not? Why did Mr. Neilan, as chief executive, make a decision to proceed with a contract when his engineers stated to him on 22 November 2007 that it should be in it and when his solicitors wrote to him five days later on 27 November 2007 suggesting a condition to add? Why did it not appear? When Mr. Neilan received this advice from his engineers and solicitors, what did he do?
