I propose to take Questions Nos. 309 and 326 together.

The cost of the legal proceedings, and any award of related liabilities, will only be determined when the ongoing appeals against the High Court judgments have been finally concluded. Accordingly, any discussion of costs, and on whom they might be levied, would be entirely premature and speculative at this stage.
