Thanks Tim
I was a bit surprised by the note. I thought the sub-committee was intended for this kind of thing.
There is some time pressure as I understand it. 3 weeks to appeal from the date the judgement is published. But that
should allow enough time I'd have thought both for a decision at Board level and some consultation with BEIS (this
shouldn’t be onerous given the nature of the decision, but necessary given the profile this has).
For now I’m assuming one side or the other is likely to want to appeal some aspect or other.

Thanks, good break and I hope you have had also. I think the main concern here is that there will be a
time constraint, but in any event it is too big a decision not to expressly involve UKGI, and I will take
steps to ensure this happens.
Best

Happy new year. Hope you had a good break.
Has 4.8 in the attachment been agreed with you? If so, we’ll need to discuss.

Please find attached a summary of the current status of the Group Litigation, including an update on the
hearing of the Common Issues Trial which concluded on 6 December, and the Horizon trial which
commences on 11 March.
We anticipate receiving the draft judgment on the Common Issues in mid-late January, however it will
be subject to embargo so we will not be able to communicate the outcome widely or in detail during the
embargo. We are currently developing the appeal strategy — should that be required, and the paper
proposes that any decision to appeal should be taken by the Chairman, CEO and CFOO. We will be
briefing UKGI in early January as the proposed appeal strategy, and work is well progressed on the
communications strategy.
As ever, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
In the meantime, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2019.
Kind regards,
Jane
