There is often the threat and the solicitor's letter and it is unfounded much of the time. However, I take the Deputy's point that it would perhaps be enough to put fear into someone not familiar with the process. The cost protection system is coupled with this provision, so I do not understand this point. It is not the fear of taking the judicial review that is of concern here but the fear of a follow-on case that is the worry in this regard. Am I correct in saying this?
