That needs to happen. I will not go into the details of where it was said but it was indicated to members of this committee, at a meeting with a senior politician yesterday, that we should be mindful of the Kerins judgment and our obligations in that regard. I have read the judgment and it is my understanding that the Committee of Public Accounts won the case. Perhaps I am missing something. I would like to have a report on what was stated in the judgment handed down. If there are lessons to be learned, that is fair enough. As someone who has read the judgment from start to finish, I take exception to people throwing the case back at us as if we had lost. I know the matter is still before the Supreme Court because the costs element is being appealed. If, however, there is a briefing paper that is sitting there and that has not been given to us, then I want to see it.
