It is binding unless it is overturned by the courts but the conciliator made a binding recommendation to award the contractor €108 million. That was outside the board's control and it is additional money that will have to be now paid to the contractor. In fact, it may have been paid, and it can only be returned if the High Court adjudicates on it, which it may well do. Am I right that the €108 million was a recommendation from the standing conciliator?
