Ms Mary Neville:

It was last tendered for in 2009 and since then the contract was extended to 2014, largely because there were several ongoing issues. Now we are not clear that we need to go to tender as the level of legal expenses is so low because the State Claims Agency is able to deal with many of the types of legal issues that arise.
