</p><p>Notes:</p><ol><li>Defence costs include profit, costs and disbursements such
as counsel, expert fees and court fees. It would not be correct to say that these
are the sums received by those firms for the services that they alone provide.</li></ol><p>
</p><ol start="2"><li>The variability in the numbers for the firms is caused by the
number of offices the defence firm has on the panel.</li></ol><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>
