Assessment of Damages

Coram: MORRISON J. (Ag.)

At the conclusion of the assessment hearing on Friday, 1 8 ' ~Ja nuary 2008, owing

to considerable time constraints, I ordered that written submissions were to be

exchanged between the parties by 1 February 2008 and that final written submissions

C- be submitted to the Court by 8'" February, 2008. Up to the date of writing this judgment

being 13'~M ay, 2008, 1 am yet to receive same despite administrative reminders to both

counsel. I can only hope that the orr~issionto obey -the orders are not intentional.

In spite of their collaborative failure I feel compelled to proceed to give my judgment lest

I be overtaken by superventing considerations.
