I am not saying we do; we do not. The witness does not need to refute it. The person finds a solicitor who says that, by and large, for somebody running into the back of a vehicle, one would get this or that. We have heard over all the sessions that whiplash in Ireland gets €15,000, whiplash in the United Kingdom gets £5,000 and whiplash in the rest of Europe does not exist. Are there any thoughts or views as to why that is the case, if it is the case?
