Heard: March 6 & 8 and June 20,2007

The relationship between Pearl and Brendon Salome has deteriorated to a point

where they cannot now even agree as to how long they knew each other before they got

Mr. Salome even sought to say they did not have much of a relationship before he

decided to ask her to be his wife. It was only after some pressing, while being crossexamined,

that he reluctantly admitted to a friendship.

She said they met in 1979 and a relationship started in 1980. He said they met in

either 1986,- as in his affidavit, or in 1983 - as per his viva vote evidence.

They agree they were wed in 1987 and she moved in with him in a house he had

acquired in 1985.
