“Now on the application for a speedy trial that honorable Panton’s attorney filed, that was granted.  So the court appreciated that the matter must be heard on an urgent basis and the court made those orders today.  The court also reduced to the order exactly that the parties are to discuss timelines going forward, in terms of when things are filed and exchanged, what they agree upon or disagree upon and where there are disagreements or no agreements in place between the parties on what happens in the future, the court indicated that it will make its own order and if it just happens to be to the inconvenience of either party then so be it.  So that is essentially what happened this morning. Honorable Panton always had legal counsel, however, on the first instance, of course you know sometimes dates are inconvenient to parties and counsel was not able o appear on that date.  But now we are where we are, she has counsel and yes, counsel is Mr. Simon Christopher Peter Knox, K.C., and I can tell you that I’ve learned that Mr. Barrow is uncertain and has caused himself to be bothered by trying to ascertain whether he is really called in this jurisdiction.  I can assure that he is.  So yes, honorable Panton has counsel.”
