Ms Helen Dooley:
On the last point, we have waived our rights with regard to the Statute of Limitations for the tracker population.
With regard to if we settle a case, when we settle a case it may be on an extraneous factor. Where we settle a case our practice is to look across the book and see if there are any other similar circumstances.
We do not drag people through the courts unnecessarily. We do not go to court unless we firmly believe we have a good position to defend. We cannot commit that a settlement would be extended across a population because settlements are always on a case-by-case basis.
