40. Contingencies
There are a number of pending and threatened litigation claims involving the Group in North America and Latin America which
are being vigorously defended. The directors do not believe that the outcome of any such pending or threatened litigation will
have a materially adverse effect on the Group’s nancial position. However, as is inherent in legal proceedings, there is a risk of
outcomes unfavourable to the Group. In the case of unfavourable outcomes the Group would benet from applicable insurance
recoveries.
