For somebody who was not party to the decision, Mr. Breen has been very helpful and the committee members will use the information going forward. There is so much within Mr. Breen's remit that we need more than 15 minutes to explore it and I have unfortunately used a good chunk of it already on last week's committee meeting. I have two questions. Legal costs are always a controversial issue. For cases that have a small settlement and where legal costs may outweigh the final settlement, are there cases where legal costs exceed the settlement that might be provided to the person under the clinical indemnity scheme?
