Mr. Michael Murnane:

I cannot answer that question directly. I can say that one of the cases relates to a property transaction that dated back to 1996 which came to light in the very recent past. The other is a personnel matter that I would prefer not to deal with here. The legal fees over recent years, which is all I can comment on, have been dominated by the three High Court cases settled a few weeks ago. The legal fees are very much orientated towards those three cases. The resolution of those cases will significantly reduce what we have been paying in legal fees over recent years.
