Leaving aside the uniqueness, the principle has been established that the HSE accepts liability in three court cases for non-disclosure. There are 35 active court cases and I imagine the principle will hold in all 35. There may be nuances, differences and complexities associated with each because of issues such as length of time, which is fine. That will determine the level of compensation to be paid. However, the principle of liability and compensation has been established in three cases, while there are 35 active cases. Is it fair to say the same principle will apply to the 35 cases and that, most likely, there will be monetary compensation associated with accepted liability on the part of the HSE? Is that, at least, a fair assessment?
