MR AMEEN
Mr Chairman, I got instructions very late on Thursday and these were confirmed again on Friday.  I was not able to consult with my clients over the weekend.  I have started consulting with them, I have taken statements from them.  I was busy going through the application, a copy of which was provided to me in the middle of the morning today.  I have not completed that process yet but I'm happy for the evidence to be led and once
the applicants have completed their evidence, I will then cross-examine them after I have consulted with my clients in order not to hold up the proceedings for the morning.
