Mr. Breen has said that only 3% of claims go to court so that should not affect this so much. What about the 97% of cases? I would like to separate the cases that go to court versus those that do not. Only 3% go to court, so let us talk about the 97%. I am sure the chart on page 2 includes the 97% and is primarily based on them. Therefore, the issue of court dates should not apply to the same extent. These cases are outside of the courts.
