I will take guidance on this. We might write to the Chief State Solicitor's office, which as a Government body was probably advising, to ask if there is a practice in out of court settlements. We can just ask it as a general question and, if it is not relevant, to tell us that. We can write to that office seeking a guidance information note on out of court settlements, the principles involved, and whether it is normal to put into such a settlement that the person undertakes not to seek any further employment in the organisation concerned. I think that is what is referred to in the correspondence.
