But I think Mr Memani, you assume that they are not going to testify.  The fact that they don't oppose the application, does not necessarily mean that they are not going to testify to dispute certain things, certain allegations about themselves.  You assume that they are not going to testify but that is not necessarily so, whether in the end they will in fact testify of course depends on them.
	You can hardly be here to complain that people did not come and testify against you client.  If they do not testify - if they choose not to testify in the end, it will be for us to decide the matter in the light of the evidence before us including of course the evidence from the applicant which was elicited by a cross-examination on behalf of these people.  As I say, I think you assume that simply because they say they do not oppose the application, automatically they are not going to testify, we don't know.
