Are the witnesses aware, regarding advice it has given, of a case with two parties where the State does not have a representative in the room and, therefore, is neither of the parties? Is the State involved in any settlements or court cases like that? That is what was described to us last week. Are the witnesses aware of any similar cases in which there are two parties to an agreement and the State is not one of them, but is involved through, I think, as we heard, the Supreme Court?
