Judge & Panel return.
J - we've got the docs, JR have you looked at these
JR - don't object, simply object to 2 add'l witnesses
J - we consider in principle that it is permissible to call add'l witnesses in response to what R's late witnesses says. And in principle, to recall

C. It's unclear what the evidence of the new witnesses will be. We are going to allow subject to; must particularly focused on relevant to the issues, the questions must take account of very limited time available, all qs to be as short and to the point as possible. We will

impose time limits to allow us to finish by 4 pm tomorrow. Evidence out to be complete by 4 pm today. We must work to conclude evidence. We are going to see how things goes, on qs for witnesses for Rs and all evidence of the issues before the Tribunal. The evidence of LN may

be tangential to the main issues. On submissions, we are going to take stock at the end of day tomorrow. We will see how we go before we impose time limits.
