Notes

F404 Engine Through Life Support: Clayton Utz provided probity advice and advice on Intellectual Property Issues associated with the Request for Proposal. The total cost of the appointment was $12,000 and therefore the cost associated with probity would be approximately half the total cost.

P3 Orion Accord: The terms of the AGS engagement was for provide both probity and legal advice. The records do not show a breakdown between the two.

(General Counsel Note: Instructions for external Legal Service providers are now required to go through General Counsel Division. It is now required of all external legal providers to make the distinction on their invoices whether the invoice is for Legal or probity advice.)
