The Supreme Court is hearing cases much faster now because of the presence of the Court of Appeal. The decision of the Court of Appeal was given in July. The Supreme Court is giving listings for cases within periods of six months to nine months. It is faster but I cannot be definitive on that. I do not believe we should proceed with this committee hearing when a Supreme Court appeal will be heard in respect of the case that forms the whole reason that we are here.
