1 MS. STEEL: The problem is right as she was saying that the tape
2 went and I had to turn it over and I then lost everything
3 that she said.

5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Listen, if you come to a position where --
6 I spoke about this the other day -- you have to turn your
7 tape over, do not hesitate to say so and we will stop and
8 you can do it. You do not have to rush it so that you miss
9 something or you do it wrong and it does not play, or
10 anything like that. Obviously, you have to keep your eye
11 on it, but do not hesitate to mention if you need to do
12 something with your tape.
13
14 MS. STEEL: I am just saying that I am now in a position where
15 I am not sure what was said.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: All right. Pick it up and say when you are
18 ready to go on.

20 MS. STEEL: The thing is I cannot understand what it says on the
21 CaseView.
