This is not a case where they&#8217;ve both had the decision and the sort of negotiations and settlement discussions going on in the background. It&#8217;s very, very simple. They have not had the decision of the panel as of yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">&#8220;I do think now there&#8217;s no real excuse for a further delay. Even if they were busy on other matters, and they would have been, then I think it would be really quite extraordinary that there&#8217;s been no timetable set with them and no arrangement set with them in terms of the payment of their time over these last ten months to produce the decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">&#8220;I think on any basis, ten months is enough to produce even a very, very detailed 400 or 500-page decision on this case, and I think it is imminent. I know I have said that before multiple times in this room, but I did think that there was a very good chance that it would have come out for this international window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a very good chance it will come out in the next international window, and I really can&#8217;t see it going into 2026. I just cannot see it extending beyond the year. I think it is almost out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"mirror\">&#8220;Why has it not dropped into those inboxes as of yet? I don&#8217;t know; it may well have done, in the last 24 hours, but certainly as of the end of last week, it was not a case of secret discussions or secret settlement discussions. It&#8217;s just very, very simple.
