The tribunal adjourned proceedings to Wednesday, September 24, to clarify the status of correspondence relating to the proposed relocation. The tribunal had earlier adjourned from September 16 to September 23 to allow the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, to consider the petitioners' request for a change of venue following an alleged assault on SDP counsel.
