It s expected to last, this commission hearing, about ten weeks, and then beyond of that, there will be, of course, a period of deliberation. And given the complexity and the scale of this case, based on how many charges there are, and i should say that while there were 115 originally, it has been reported that that may have expanded to around 130, not because there are additional allegations of wrongdoing, but more because they re effectively multiples of original charges over various seasons.
