put back exchange of statements to 29 September at earliest. They are taking instructions
anc I revert tomorrow but I think they will agree. We both recognised this may put back
experts reports and also that the trial window may well need to be moved/extended in view of
this but we would deal with that after exchange when they can see which of our witnesses they
need to call.
Please can you let me know which witnesses you'd like to see on Monday so that I can stand
down the others.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
Kind regards.
