Professor Don Barry:

We disclose settlements in the financial accounts every year. There are very few of them. The majority of disputes that arise between staff in the university are settled informally without ever going outside their departments. Occasionally, however, as one would expect in any large organisation, some disputes prove intractable. The ones highlighted in the Mazars report and in our financial statements dealing with that aspect of our business are the few that have led to disciplinary processes that in some cases have ended with negotiated settlements.
