CLOSING SUBMISSIONS
The oral hearing was held at the Great Southern Hotel (Radisson SAS) over a three-week period commencing on 16/04/2007 and finishing on 04/05/2007. It should be noted that on most days the hearing continued well into the evening. Some of the modules while extending over several days, were not examined on consecutive days to facilitate some parties. Therefore, the following narrative of the hearing does not follow a date order.
A substantial amount of additional documents were submitted during the hearing. These were in addition to those requested by the inspector prior to the hearing, and were circulated to the parties.
The parties and observers were advised of the general format of the hearing in advance, though some revisions to the order were made during the hearing, in an effort to meet the needs of some attendants.
