</span>I quite agree. We agreed from a very early stage, I believe, that the<br>
IRP would be empowered to dismiss expeditiously any frivioulous or<br>
vexatious claims or those without any reasonable prospect of success,<br>
before the review is fully engaged. Nobody wants or expects the IRP to<br>
be holding its intense reviews on poorly founded claims.<br>
<br>
Those that have been through the IRP process before will tell you that<br>
it is a very serious and involved process, not to mention an expensive<br>
one, so I do not think we will face the problem you describe.<br>
Nonetheless, the IRP will be empowered to deal with it, whenever misuse<br>
appears.<br>
