They have all provided a written Witness Statement concluding with "I believe the content of this statement to be true" and are asked to confirm its content at the beginning of their oral evidence.

As for the Inquiry, I'd say because it is looking into events that took place over 16 years, involved many people (both perpetrators and victims), at least two major companies, several legal firms,...

To my mind, AvdB spent the latter part of this morning attempting to refute Counsel's suggestion that he may have perjured herself before the High Court. She seemed to say that she didn't because she...

I feel that I am missing something. Why did POL only employ lawyers with experience in civil law? So far at this has been the case for at least two of those called to give evidence, albeit that they...

If I've heard "As I recall" and "To the best of my recollection" from Susan Crichton once today, I've heard it a dozen or more. Cautious doesn't quite cover it.

I'm in two mind over Mr Williams. To me, he presents as someone who has, to an extent, overcome an autism spectrum disorder to achieve his present position. I suspect that he retains that position...

Given the recent developments / revelations, will they be put under oath and how many of them will 'take the fifth'?

From the clarity of his voice in the recordings discussed above, I'm guessing that Ron Warmington has taken some advice about his legal liability for sharing his recordings.
