May I make a point to the Minister? Force majeure can happen anytime.
From the time the appeal happens, a person can experience a force majeuresituation. It is not right to say that a whole new review is being started because people are people and things can happen. A person could, God forbid, get bad news tomorrow morning. He or she could go to the doctor today and get a phone call next week with bad news or whatever. That is the purpose of it; a force majeureis a force majeure. It is not something that people just invent or use. It is important and should be built into it.
