I have not directly faced the Judge's comment that I foreshadowed evidence
from the Ministry but did not eventually call a Ministry representative to
give evidence. Arguably, this is relevant to the Judge's quite
unsubstantiated conclusion that suspension was not inevitable (contrary to
everybody else on the topic). The reason that
the Ministry witness did not eventually give evidence was that at the last
minute he tried to change his evidence and I formed the view that he would be
perjuring himself if he gave evidence in the amended form. I was not prepared
to be a party to that and took the hard decision not to call him.
