We are not here to adjudicate. There is a lot of blame to go around. There is an obvious blame game because we have counterclaims from the contractor who is talking about all of the additional design changes and so on, which I will not go into. We have these claims and counterclaims. Ultimately, the courts will decide on all of this. My point is that Mr. Gunning cannot say for certain that there will not be additional costs because that will not be his decision to make. Does he accept that will be a decision ultimately for a court to decide?
