A civil case will generally take from beginning to end about a year. Now that means that we filed we’ve gotten a case, we’ve investigate it, we filed it and we’re moving into trial. There are many occasions along that process where there might be opportunities to settle a case where there’s mediations and where there’s other conversations taking place. But to actually get a case to trial we’ll set it as quickly as we can, and it generally is about a year. It will differ in different jurisdictions though.
