For the benefit of those of us who would not be as au faitwith the operations of the court as our guests, the consequence of that would be significant delays in a large number of planning applications across a wide range areas, for example. That would be the import of another couple of years of litigation around costs. It would mean that if there were a series of judicial reviews, whether in respect of residential developments, infrastructure or wind energy, and if there were then a dispute regarding costs, everything would be put on hold until the decision regarding costs is made. Is that the case?
