He performed no real investigation,
did no research of any consequence,

:22:04
except perhaps
to review profit statements.

:22:07
And he's prepared his complaint
so inexpertly as to render it moot.

:22:11
- All untrue.
- Do you know what Rule 1 1 is?

:22:15
To be honest, Your Honour,
I had to look it up.

:22:19
I'll be honest, so did l.
Do you know why, Mr Cheeseman?

:22:25
Because it is so old and ambiguous
:22:27
few lawyers
waste their time with it, or mine.

:22:31
It's a non-issue, Mr Cheeseman.
Your motion is denied. Thank you.

:22:35
Thank you.
:22:37
- Anything else?

:23:13
drill some monitoring wells,
:23:16
conduct seismic tests, and so on.
:23:19
And you're talking about you
and a couple of assistants?

:23:23
No. I mean a team of
geologists and engineers.

:23:26
- A team?
- A big team.

:23:33
It's actually quite exciting.
:23:35
The nature of the contour
here means there's an effect -

:23:39
named after me, actually...
:23:44
In the shop, Mr Roberts,
you used solvents to clean brushes?

:23:50
What would you've done with that
stuff back in the 1970s and '80s?

:23:55
- Used solvent? Put it in drums.
- 35-gallon drums?
