MR PATEL
At present and as I have a final instruction, the present position is - or rather when I commenced with cross-examination, the instruction was to oppose on all bases, on whatever basis I could, and versions were given to me, etc, etc.
	Now, there has been this meeting and people have talked.  There has been following the road to reconciliation, some people have expressed the view that they might be prepared to forgive and not oppose the application.  Others haven't made up their minds yet.
	Still others, they don't want to oppose, but they would like to know a little bit about what happened in this particular incident.  I can continue the cross-examination, but at present if I do so, it will be on the full opposition.  If it transpires at a later stage and I understand that my Attorney has indicated to them the time limits involved, and a cut off time of eleven o'clock, 11:30 have been given to the applicants, to come back with the final instruction, it appears to me to be the best way to deal with this, if I just stop at this present point in time, such that I don't enter into cross-examination which is going to take up the Committee's time as well as everybody else unnecessarily.
	We are just looking to save some time, we are looking at the end of the day at what the purpose of this hearing is for, and if it can be resolved in a manner where people actually talk to each other, rather than through legal representatives, in the manner that we are used to, it will serve the purpose better.
	I cannot take this any further.
