This question should be answered as the no. 1 priority ahead of questions such as how much monies will be transferred from PIPS to the new scheme etc.

Another question is if the outcome on Nov 17 is negative (if indeed there is such a court hearing), can PIPS continue with someone else in charge in the meantime?

Bryan: is it at all possible to answer the first question 'will people get their principal out if PIPS is not relaunched?'
