MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, naturally I think on behalf of the applicant, being his legal representative, I do have a role to play during the course of cross-examination.  It may be a minor part to play, but I have a role to play and that role I can only play if I am au fait with the contents of the documentation and the facts of this matter.
	My suggestion, my submission would be that these proceedings cannot continue, even though it may only be the cross-examination or the finalisation or the completion of the cross-examination of the applicant, if I am not fully prepared and it would be to the prejudice of the applicant.
	Having said that however, at this stage of my preparation, I would not be in a position to assist the client at all during the course of the cross-examination.  I might as well not be here and I might as well go home and start preparing for the matter and to be ready by Thursday.
	I think if, to answer the question then, I think should we then, if it is decided that we should pursue with the cross-examination today and if this day is taken up in that regard, then I would need a further day to enable myself to prepare for this matter.  It would not help me, I would not be in a position to spend time on the documents if we are involved in a hearing and pursuance of the hearing today.
