did ns get a look at the cooked books.lol, page-8

It could drag on a bit in that case. The issue NS have with the books is not relevant in this application. It is simply a matter of access to the books. Hard to understand therefore why a hearing would be required....if to argue on the basis of law or precedent, usually written submissions would be taken for a determination. I would like to know their submitted reasons for access. This still remains as a low cost action though and in the hands of lawyers, so shouldn't detract from broader activities of the co. you would think. Just my musings.
