The Applicant suggests substantive errors arise in respect of paragraphs 9A, 40B, 52, 52C, 55, 73, and 165.4.of the ASOC.
The Authority accepts that there is an error at paragraph 52C which will be corrected. The Authority disputes that there are errors in the other paragraphs. In those circumstances, I agree with the Authority that the appropriate response to the errors is for Mr Staley to deal with them in his amended Reply.
Accordingly, I permit these amendments to be made, subject to the Authority correcting the error in paragraph 52C.
