I quite agree. We agreed from a very early stage, I believe, that the
IRP would be empowered to dismiss expeditiously any frivioulous or
vexatious claims or those without any reasonable prospect of success,
before the review is fully engaged. Nobody wants or expects the IRP to
be holding its intense reviews on poorly founded claims.

Those that have been through the IRP process before will tell you that
it is a very serious and involved process, not to mention an expensive
one, so I do not think we will face the problem you describe.
Nonetheless, the IRP will be empowered to deal with it, whenever misuse
appears.
