Nexus Phase
Mr. Patrick Neary:
Okay, I accept that point, that that is true.... put that construct ... I can't recall that there was any ... evaluation of that particular matter in relation to dividends at the time.

And I venture to answer in a constructive way, that yes, I believe we would have had the power to restrict the payment of a dividend in advance of any dividend being paid.
