"Large risk"........"extremely precarious position."

Any Cornwall Council Cabinet members, or indeed anyone else, could help me out here by asking some obvious questions at tomorrow's Cabinet meeting. Here's the bit that caught my eye:

"There is a large risk facing the Council that has arisen since April. Legal action has recently been served on the Council for failing to set a 'lawful' rate in setting care home fee levels for 2011-12. If the legal action is successful, very significant costs could ensue and place this budget in an extremely precarious position."

STOP PRESS: Seems as if this refers to a group of care home owners who had been seeking to Judicially Review the council's budget. The council had been expecting a response by May, but has heard nothing, and believes (hopes) the threat has now expired.
