Judgment
I am of the view, given that we are now at, from memory, day seventeen or eighteen of the matter, with a further four days set down that are going to be under significant constraint to enable the matter to be finished in that time - even with early starts, the possibility of late finishes and constriction of court breaks in the meantime. It is too late to be suggesting that there should be further evidence on these points, the witnesses having been excused and the matter not previously having been foreshadowed.
I reject the application for further anthropological evidence.
Tim Moore
Senior Commissioner
