It carries incredible weight, but we had to weigh up other considerations which, as the Chairman pointed out, included the Judiciary and the importance of ensuring that, while we cannot dictate, we bring as much information as possible and go about this in the correct way. Judiciaries in other jurisdictions publish their version of the book of quantum and I would like to arrive at that point. It was recommended to me that someone who had come from that part of the system might be best placed to help do that work. We can have the very detailed personal injuries commission with experts that drill down, but we should also work with the Personal Injuries Assessment Board, which develops the book of quantum, to try to bring about a position where we either have a whole new book of quantum that includes the international piece every year or we have a book of quantum that is published alongside the international piece, whereby eventually we would get to the point where the Judiciary, potentially, is doing it itself. There is a number of actions that speak to it in the report.
