Ms Josephine Feehily:

It was not. They were round sum settlements. They were technical cases - both A and B. They were arrived at after intense negotiation. Arrived at in the case of A after a lot of well documented internal consultation, including senior counsel advice. In case B, there was poorly documented consultation. That was a judgment call that was made, it was that was as much money as could be secured in those cases with no consensus that we could prevail in litigation.
