00:29up arguments that we thought would minimum require a serious consideration, that's number
00:39one.
00:40Number two, we feel that a lot of the evidence that has been considered by the judge, hearsay,
00:49this is probably one of the rare or if not the only case where hearsay evidence is taken
00:57wholesale.
00:58Everything that was said, taken wholesale.
01:02Now without going into very much detail, I have of course, we are going to prepare for
01:09the defence, we'll have to take the judgement and respect the judgement, but I'm just so
01:15surprised that this is probably the only case that I've ever had where at this stage I don't
01:25even win on a single point.
01:29But we are not giving up, we are going to fight this case and we are more determined because
01:35of the decision today.
