An oil spill occurred into a stream next to two business premises, one of which belonged to company A. The regulators were called in and conducted an investigation in both sites, and initial findings indicated that the spill was caused by machinery on company A's site. Costs were incurred for legal representation at formal interviews with the regulators, where company A was later cleared of any blame.
