I would think the same normally but someone in FF is briefing this way and it ties in with what Cowen and Coughlan said on day ABP RO ruling released.

It would seem there was an actual contract in that case, not a tender situation. In any case, it looks like there are shenanigans in the Slovakian overall PPP process.

Certain people who should know more not sure where we stand legally of project dropped now before BAFOs are submitted. I was told 'we don't think so but we're checking it out'. Doesn't fill one with confidence - although if such legal action is a strong possibility it may influence decision to proceed for now with enabling works as it will be easier to drop project if BAFO not to govt's liking.
