I had not considered "multi-case" for this situation. If you think its
appropriate, thats interesting. Thank you, I will look again (I had
skimmed over it as being inapplicable)

I am not sure where that would end, but I take the point.

would work

not per se, but these are not original or newly-raised concerns. I am
sure they have come up before.
