MR DEHAL
Mr Chairperson, as I see it, the main reason is that firstly 29 proceedings were by its very nature, held in camera, were intended to adduce evidence against prosecution.  In this particular case, the Attorney-General here in Natal, had gone public on his intention to arrest and possibly charge Mr Ismail and Mr McBride and there was lots of talk in public and directly by the Attorney-General that he intends to re-open the so-called Magoos bar case and as a result of all of that, there was scurrying and rushed applications, one of which was Mr McBride's application and indeed Mr Ismail's application.  These applications proceeded the hearings.  Now, one approached the 29 hearings with that prospect in mind, that the hearings would be confidential and never used at any hearing subsequently.
