But having regard to the fact that the letter specifically drew your attention to the fact that unless the requested information was not furnished to the evidence leader's office who was identified in that letter as Ms Thabete, your client's application will not be capable of being proceeded with.  Why did you not try and communicate directly with Ms Thabete knowing that according to the letter from her office, the matter would not be disposed of unless certain information, the information was received before 8th February which was yesterday?
