MR HATTINGH
Mr Chairman, as we are dealing not with a normal criminal court or a normal civil court, and we have to work within the parameters of the Act, the one parameter which is that cross-examination can be curtailed, if you take away that tool, that instrument, for finding the truth, the Act in fact makes provision for another instrument, and that is for this Committee to investigate and to make enquiries not necessarily at this hearing, but to make sure that whenever this application is being heard, that the other side of the story or the full truth, is also taken into consideration.
