I return to an issue about which I asked Mr. Breen previously and on which we had a good engagement the last time he was before the committee, which is that there was a change in how cases were dealt with during Covid-19 and the unavailability of the courts meant the legal process was pursued differently in regard to mediated processes at a much earlier stage. Has that changed since the courts have become more available or is it being seen there has been a change in how cases are being pursued? In the region of 24% of the costs of these claims is accounted for by legal or other costs.
