We will deal with the chapter from the Comptroller and Auditor General. We know the background and that the tender received was the best. That is fine. The Comptroller and Auditor General starts with the High Court judgment. There are a couple of issues, because this chapter hinges on the High Court judgment, and the judge had the final word. It is a very short chapter. There is one interesting item from the Accounting Officer of the OPW at paragraph 6.19. I understand the role of the OPW, but even though the OPW warned there would be difficulty getting vacant possession, the witness still must explain why an agreement was signed that vacant possession would be able to be delivered when the OPW flagged this. Aside from that, the Accounting Officer stated that the OPW had at all times acted in good faith, having regard to the advices. Is that the legal advice that was received?
