complete their evidence today, if that is achievable.
I would certainly invite your Honour and Commissioners to
sit on if that is necessary to complete their evidence.
THE PRESIDING MEMBER: Yes. Thank you.
MS FURNESS:
If that helps.
THE PRESIDING MEMBER: It does. Thank you. So having
heard that, Mr Skinner, we can take an extended mid-morning
break to allow you to take some instructions, and you, too,
Mr Gray.
MR SKINNER:
THE PRESIDING MEMBER:
Thank you, your Honour.
Are you comfortable with that?
MR SKINNER: Not entirely, but I will take it for the
moment, thank you, your Honour.
THE PRESIDING MEMBER: So we will take the mid-morning
break now - it's 5 to 11 - and resume at 11.30. I will
hear from either or both of you at that time with respect
to what your instructions are.
MS FURNESS:
SHORT ADJOURNMENT
Thank you, your Honour.
MS FURNESS: Your Honour, I understand that Mr Skinner and
Mr Gray may have something to say.
MR SKINNER: I am happy to go first, because perhaps I am
at some fault in creating this situation, for which
I apologise. I had thought that my client could not be
present here and monitor proceedings remotely. I didn't
realise he was half an hour or so away. So he hasn't yet
been able to come in, and I haven't yet been able to talk
to him.
I don't want to hold up proceedings otherwise in the
Commission. If Mr Sutton is able to remain for perhaps
further questioning from me, I would ask to be excused
while the Commission, if that's what it wants to do, goes
on with further evidence and therefore no further time is
taken. After I see my client, while that is happening,
I can come back and explain my position then, and maybe no
