Dr. Jerome Coffey:

I have a point of information that may help the discussion. I became aware of this in the run-in to the case. At that point, there was an opportunity for mediation. Unfortunately, that was unsuccessful and it went to court. Then followed the sequence of events that Mr. Gleeson described. As said earlier, it was an accelerated process facilitated by everyone in view of the clinical condition that the patient is unfortunately in.
