Material litigation In February 2009, United Utilities International Limited (UUIL) was served with notice of a multiparty ` "class action' in Argentina related to the issuance and payment default of a US$230 million bond by Inversora Eléctrica de Buenos Aires S A (IEBA), an Argentine project company set upup to purchase one of the Argentine electricity distribution networks which was privatised in 1997. UUIL had a 45 per cent shareholding in IEBA which it sold in 2005. The claim is for a non-quantified amount of unspecified damages and purports to be pursued on behalf of unidentified consumer bondholders in IEBA. UUIL has filed a defence to the action and will vigorously resist the proceedings given the robust defences that UUIL has been advised that it has on procedural and substantive grounds.

Although UUW won a `summary judgment' application against MSCC in January on a significant element of the claim, MSCC subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeal who dismissed UUW's summary judgment. UUW was then granted permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, the hearing to be in the next 6 to 12 months.

In most cases, liability for litigation is difficult to assess or quantify; recovery may be sought for very large and/or indeterminate amounts and the existence and magnitude of liability may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The group robustly defends litigation, where appropriate, and seeks to minimise its exposure to such claims by early identification of risks and compliance with its legal and other obligations. Based on the facts and matters currently known and the provisions carried in the group's statement of financial position, the directors are of the opinion that the possibility of the disputes referred to in this risk section having a material adverse effect on"
