(GLD) Litigation Group in relation to inquests in which they have been instructed
by Government Departments and other public bodies.</p><p>GLD represents most, but
not all, Government Departments in litigation. In addition, during parts of the period
covered by the table, a small number of Departments (that GLD now acts for in litigation)
handled their own litigation (including inquests).</p><p>The amounts are set out by
