The services themselves include the following: 1. Formal regulatory investigations; specifically, legal services required in relation to formal regulatory investigations against any company within the Thames Water or Kemble Groups where enforcement action is expressly stated in writing as being anticipated or contemplated by Ofwat, the CMA and/or the European Commission as the enforcement authorities; 2.
