1. No representative of the defendant firm appeared at the hearing of this assessment of damages. Mr. Wills properly informed me that a representative of the defendant telephoned the legal Aid Department seeking as adjournment. Quite properly they were told to approach the court to seek an adjournment. They have not done so and the matter must proceed.
