He has come before the committee to make a point about the High Court awards and has given two examples, which he has presented colourfully here. However, hard data are being given to him stating that the argument being made for the industry and his own argument do not hold up at all. I need to get to the bottom of this. Does Mr. Carty believe in the High Court data in respect of the median instead of the highest award that is paid, which is what the industry wants to put out because that gets the headlines and everybody thinks this is crazy stuff? However, does he accept the data on the median award which, as people like Mr. Carty understand, is what one should do?
