MS PATEL
Thank you, Honourable Chairperson.  It appears that the applicant in this matter has legal representation on the basis of legal aid.  Mr Webster was instructed by our offices to appear for the applicant.  The applicant has however indicated that he wishes Mr R Dehal to represent him.  As a result thereof I contacted Mr Dehal, who has indicated that he doesn't have an objection to representing the applicant, however he is not available for this week, he is committed elsewhere.  And that's the position as it stands.
