[00:03:46]And according to Attorney General, uh she had not received the copy of the filed witness statement. Nevertheless, we had come this morning to collect a copy. So, she had a copy in her hand and reported to the court that she has only just cited a copy of it. The court, however, decided that since she had a copy in her hand, she will continue with the conference management, case management, and therefore case management was conducted and finished before we tendered the witness statement in evidence.

[00:04:28]So, there is yet another witness to come.

[00:04:33]We have filed the witness statement and it's a measure save that it was filed today.

[00:04:41]Attorney General says that she has not been served and therefore we expect that by the time we come back on Monday, they will have received copy of the said witness statement and we can conduct CMC on that one, too, and then continue.

[00:04:58]When this witness completes his evidence, then the other one will also come.

[00:05:03]That is the end of today.
