I find it remarkable that the decision to take on the legal firm was left to one individual within the National Gallery. A significant amount of money was spent yet nothing has changed. The firm has remained in situ even though the advice given at the start was incorrect. I accept that not all the circumstances were known at that point. The loss was incurred but nothing has changed. The board was not made aware of the situation at the time. I am trying to find out what has changed.
