In light of what the last speaker said regarding court and legal actions, are we straying into a dangerous area? Should we allow the legal process to go ahead? The last thing I want is to find myself or any other member of the committee brought into the courts to explain ourselves. When I hear there a live case I have serious concerns about getting involved. I defer to the Chairman and his view of this matter but I am extremely uncomfortable.
