The Arts Council mentioned it was taking legal proceedings against two entities. I think it was said there were more than 20 different companies involved in this. In relation to those legal proceedings, I am very conscious that we do not throw good money after bad. As a lawyer, I know how expensive commercial litigation proceedings are and that there is absolutely no guarantee of success no matter how good the case is. Who has signed off on the legal advice in terms of going ahead?
