We are near the end of road at this stage. We understand the need to protect the anonymity of the survivors who were allowed to commission the work themselves. I am not saying anything went wrong but we cannot be sure of that. There is a question mark there.
From Caranua's contacts, it knew of the genuine cases. All these people had been through the other redress schemes to start with. Caranua would be aware of the bona fides of the people it is dealing with. This gives a level of comfort as to whom one is dealing with, even though it is not a verifiable assurance. There was something of a risk there.
