Thanks Amy.
lhave discussed this with Jane. Please file and serve the Statement.

Going forward, can you please give us more time to consider these documents. We appreciate that everyone is working
flat out but we need more than 4 hours to consider and give instructions on draft documents.

This is especially important with the Skeleton for the Recusal Application. Can you please therefore make sure we have
early sight of the draft Skeleton, say by close of play on Thursday, so that we can feed our comments in as it is refined

ahead of filing at 5pm on Monday 1 April 2019.

Thanks, Rod

Jane, Rodric

Please find attached the witness statement which is due to be filed at 12pm today. A copy of the 14" witness statement
and the order by which the 15"" witness statement is pursuant to are also attached for reference.

The witness statement contains 7 paragraphs, with the remainder being extracts from the Judgment. We have sought to
include in the statement as much as possible from the Judgment so as no points are missed, which has been weighed
against the risk of including such a large volume of material that we are accused of being unhelpful.

In relation to matters which have arisen in the Horizon Issues Trial that could be useful examples of the Judge's apparent
bias, the scope of the witness statement is only focussed on the Common Issues Trial however, there is ongoing
consideration as to whether this material could be used in the skeleton argument / oral submissions. Owain Draper has
been re-tasked from the HIT to the recusal application for a couple of days so as to consider this and the HIT transcripts
have been added to the application bundles so as to enable Counsel to do so.

Any thoughts or comments on the witness statement would be welcomed.

Kind regards
Amy
