Mr. Des Carville:

I am quiet happy to talk about information that is in the public domain because we will be using it and the plaintiff knows we will be using it. I am not going to show my hand in terms of how I am going to defend litigation. This applies to any litigation. On behalf of the Department, I have been before the High Court, the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the European Court of Justice on litigation. This is no different, in many respects.
