I should add that our advice is that, when a court determination is made, the court will take into account prior payment. I know the minister said earlier that that is unknown and it might happen. It is our understanding that, in a case looking at wages of this kind, the court will take into account the previous wage situation—it will be a natural process of the court—and so it will not be left to this great unknown. It is natural court practice.
