MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, I can put your mind at rest, when I first consulted with the victims, the very first thing I explained to them is what is going to happen here and what we can do and what the Act says, and on what basis we can oppose any application.  That was made clear from the very outset.
	It was on that basis that I received instructions to oppose.   But I still wish to come over very strongly about it, even the applicants if they were left on their own, they would not have been able to comply with the Act to make the application, they require assistance to able them to comply with all the requirements of the Act, to enable them to make the application.
	The same goes for the respondents, the victims, the opponents.   To oppose the applications, they now know on what basis we can do it.  In their way they say oppose it, but they are not going to give me, instruct me and say oppose it on the basis of non full disclosure, because one can only have regard to the application, there are no full disclosure in the applications.  They just give a name and nothing else in many of the instances.
	But I for one, did not expect from my clients to give me instructions on exactly what basis, they gave me the version, they gave me the emotions of it, and I explained to them what basis I can carry on and as far as I am concerned, I am just doing my job when I do confront an applicant on what I believe is a very good basis.
