You see, the awkwardness of the situation is that you are appearing for the applicants and we may try to assist you in identifying points which other people are going to argue.  It may just be a futile exercise for you now to try and deal with them and it almost certainly means that you are going to have to submit written argument, because you cannot argue in, their points in anticipation.  You may mis-anticipate their arguments and find that you mis-argued against them when their written arguments come.  So it is almost a certainty that you are going to have to get a copy of their written arguments, read their written arguments and then reply thereto.  That is, must just happen. That indicates therefore, I think that instead of wasting a lot of time trying to argue what other people are likely to argue, you should restrict yourself maybe to essential points which you want to make orally bearing in mind that you are going to get yet another opportunity and therefore keep yourself brief and to the points that you want to argue now.
