Mr. John Newham:

In this area a lot boils down to a claimant saying somebody else is liable for his or her injury. The claimant is claiming that somebody, through an action or whatever else, has caused him or her harm, which moves it into different territory. I think it arose in the feedback from the public consultation that sometimes that conversation between the claimant and the respondent can resolve a lot of the matters, although maybe not all matters, so I would not necessarily compare the two.

As for the question about costs and the different costs associated with the courts, I do not know if Mr. Maher has more information on that.
