19 PROVISIONS continued<br />
Legal, contractual and other<br />
Legal, contractual and other provisions comprise mainly amounts reserved against open legal and contractual disputes. The Company<br />
has on occasion been required to take legal or other actions to defend itself against proceedings brought by other parties. Provisions<br />
are made for the expected costs associated with such matters, based on past experience of similar items and other known factors,<br />
taking into account professional advice received, and represent Directors’ best estimate of the likely outcome. The timing of utilisation<br />
of these provisions is frequently uncertain reflecting the complexity of issues and the outcome of various court proceedings and<br />
negotiations. Contractual and other provisions represent the Directors’ best estimate of the cost of settling future obligations.<br />
Unless specific evidence exists to the contrary, these reserves are shown as current.<br />
However, no provision is made for proceedings which have been or might be brought by other parties against Group companies unless<br />
the Directors, taking into account professional advice received, assess that it is more likely than not that such proceedings may be<br />
successful.<br />
