Ms Joan Gordon:
Absolutely not. I fully welcome such questioning. As I have said, we have put information on the circumstances that usually result in an oral hearing being held up on our website. There was some material there already. The Supreme Court has commented on when such hearings are required. We have updated that. I have absolutely no difficulty with that.
