I guess the answer is that we did the assessment that we could with what we know. The assessment that we did was that in 2009 there were 12 court cases filed in Supreme Court with claim amounts between $10,000 and the proposed $35,000. In 2010 there were 16 such cases. That would result, I guess, in a corresponding increase in workload for the Territorial Court, but there’s no guarantee and there’s no way to know if more people would come forward and file claims.
