‘onferences:
With Defence CsI: tries to persuade me that previous trial csl had agreed that this was not a
Breach of High Degree of Trust case. I said our position is that it was: whatever previous cs]
had said was for him and I was not bound by his comments.
With OIC: he informs me that previous csl had suggested to him that it was not a Breach of
Trust case and that OIC had argued the point with him. This reinforces my view that we will
present it as such.
AFTER HRG: Brief con with OIC; FI; expert and otrs after hrg to discuss sentence. All very
happy with outcome.
