JUDGMENT
DECISIONGRANTING EXTENSION
(Following counsel's outline of the case)
MR JUSTICE WILKIE: You are wanting it to be extended for?
MR PRETTY: It would be an application for eight months, which we envisage would enable the position to either be resolved at a hearing, or one hopes it may even be suitable for the new procedures that come in in the new year for voluntary removal from the register.
MR JUSTICE WILKIE: I think in her communication she has rather suggested that there were matters concerning what she perceived as a lack of support, and so on. No doubt those matters will be considered and had regard to in the ultimate conclusions and decisions that are taken.
MR PRETTY: Of course it is not necessary, but they certainly will be taken into account at both the second stage of the regulatory process and, if necessary, the third.
