How to read this
These are consumer-level orders from a district commission covering individual product complaints. The amounts involved are small in the context of a listed electricals company, and the disclosure is a standard intimation of an order passed. The orders do not, on the face of the update, point to any wider product or operational issue. The company has set out the amounts so investors can judge the size of the liability themselves.
Watch for
Whether the company provides any further update on these matters. Nothing beyond the orders described above is stated by the company.
