Professor Kerstin Mey:
I accept Deputy O'Connor's point. I fully acknowledge that our governing authority also wants to see the report as soon as possible but we also have a responsibility, as the chancellor said at the previous meeting, for taxpayers' money and protecting our side in a legal court case that, at this point in time, is live. The very strong external legal advice we had was that we have to limit the circulation of that report until such time as the legal matter has been resolved.
