Provisions and contingencies The Group is involved, and may become involved, in various law suits, claims and proceedings relating to customer claims, product liability, and other commercial matters. The Group records provisions for pending litigation matters when it determines that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some proceedings, the issues raised are or may be highly complex and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed may be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are difficult to ascertain. The Group defends vigorously cases it believes are without merit. At the present time and on the basis of the facts currently available in respect of such pending claims, while it is possible that an unfavorable outcome may occur from these proceedings, after assessing the information available, the Group has concluded that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred in respect of such matters and / or is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in respect of such matters. In exceptional cases, when the group considers that disclosures relating to provisions and contingencies may prejudice its position, disclosures are limited to the general nature of the dispute.
