From https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/16/hpe_lynch_damages/ is this
little gem:

|In addition to damages, HPE has the right to ask the Lynch estate to cover
|its legal costs, believed to be at least £40 million ($52.8 million).

Also, don't forget that this legal system is the same legal system that
believed the Post Office when it said that lots of subpostmasters were
stealing from it. :-(
