Mr. Ciaran Breen:

Yes. It could be a letter of claim from the person, a relative or a solicitor, or it could be a summons. In the context of the examination by the Comptroller and Auditor General, the next critical date for the length of time is the date that we resolve the case. This is not the date on which we actually agree the settlement sum of moneys with the plaintiff. It is the date when we resolve costs issues in regard to the file. I will give an example of a case I handled personally over two years ago.
