Mr. John Twomey:

There were different issues with them. Some of them did not make it to court, in some cases the summons was not served and some cases were still pending and before the courts at that time. There was a variety of responses accounting for those. What we know is that 14,000 were concluded in the courts. They were the ones that had been dealt with incorrectly and the ones we had to deal with. We were able to put a stop on others.
