To get back to the point we are all circling, if a State body decides to become a qualified entity, takes a case that is ultimately unsuccessful and has to meet the cost of that case, it looks like the State will be the backstop. Depending on what bodies they are, if they do not have finance themselves, it is quite likely they will not have the finance to meet redress in a case they are not successful in.
