In regard to the Department's recourse to anybody who may be responsible, there is obviously a statute of limitations of six years for contracts. I have concerns about the statute of limitation in respect of works in 2008 or 2009, because when one adds six years to that one gets to the year 2014 or 2015. Have the legal advisers raised the issue of the statute of limitations in terms of the Department's options of pursuing anyone who might be responsible for the defects in these particular cases but also in other cases?
