“The chair of the independent panel has today (Friday 13th July 2018) adjourned the proceedings and has indicated that the panel will accept written submissions from both parties.
“The hearing will resume on Monday 17th September 2018 when an oral summary of submissions will be made.
“Due to the ongoing proceedings, it would not be appropriate to make any further comment at this time.”
