**2012**

- [2029983-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2029983-029) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The WCAM's structural limits could reduce the number of successful settlements: while the largest cases such as Shell and Fortis give plaintiffs enough leverage to force large settlements, smaller cases may not be successfully settled in Dutch courts.
  > While the largest cases, such as Shell and Fortis, would probably still provide sufficient lev- erage for the plaintiffs to result in large settlements with de- fendants, smaller cases may not be successfully settled in Dutch courts.

**2016**

- [2811718-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2811718-016) [empirical/evidenced] -- In the hand selected sample of cases, the ranking of causes of action differs from the full search results: fiduciary duty leads, followed by negligent misrepresentation and breach of contract.
