No. Where one enters into a procurement process, one has one's legal team representing one and the case drags on. Is there any way within that procurement process where somebody can step in and say that one has racked up huge amounts of money here in terms of costs and fees and what one should be doing is finding a resolution to the problem? At what stage in the procurement process can one call a halt to what is going on and negotiate the outcome rather than be on the steps of the court?
