CHAIRPERSON
Thank you.  Mr Hattingh, I think you have heard what the attitude of the other legal representatives is, perhaps it is advisable, of course it is for you to deal with the matter, perhaps it is advisable to also try and elicit information from your client that might be of assistance in first of all explaining the absence of Adv Du Plessis this morning, and it might assist you in dealing with an opposition to your application for time.
	Now, I would like to get an indication as to how long this initial process would take you, because as you are well aware, we are under some time constraints and you know, time comes with a premium.
	Are you able to give us some indication?
