At page 211 - . . . there are questions going to the credibility of Round and Gillespie which are fit to go to a jury - To which he added - and that questions which arise in respect of the evidence of Hooft, Henley, Tovey and Allen might now be given greater significance . . . And at page 217 - . . . there is obviously a serious question as regards the veracity of the evidence of Round and Gillespie with respect to the interview with Raymond and Sheryl Mickelberg on 26 July 1982.
