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 />
