The Bundle included personal references for Mr Kalaris given by four of the NEDs between December 2022 and January 2023, together with copies of witness statements from seven other individuals dated February 2019 given for the purposes of Mr Kalaris’s criminal trial. The Bundle also included a letter dated June 2021 from Mr Elliott, the Chair of Saranac, in support of the Application.
