I am being blunt because of the time. It is accepted that barristers operate on an independent basis per case and so on, but it does raise a concern that if an individual is in mediation with the State Claims Agency and the person who is mediating that case is somebody who receives significant income from the State Claims Agency procurement panel, one can imagine how there might be a perception of imbalance there.
