    Contamination of land by an oil company where there is no current law to clean up but at year-end it is virtually certain that the law will be enacted shortly

    How does this meet the present obligation criteria for provision. I mean we have an obligation only when the law is enacted right?

    No! Wrong!

    We have a LEGAL obligation when required to do something by law

    But we have a CONSTRUCTIVE obligation when we are, as a result of our past actions and reputation, expected to do something

    All is made clear in the provisions and contingencies lecture – have you watched it?
