Mr. Fred Barry:
We expect the judgment within a month or two. The Advocate General who advises the court provided an opinion several months ago. The matter will then revert to the Supreme Court and we have no idea whether it will deal with the matter immediately or whether it would go back into the regular list. If it goes back into the list, it could be several years before the Supreme Court gets to decide the matter. It is completely outside our control.
