"He tells me that he's been unable to read the whole of the brief but that he is making his way through it and there are aspects of it that concern him," Mr Tippett said. "For reasons which can only be described as dilatory conduct on the part of the accused's legal representatives, he was not provided with a full copy of the brief until six days ago.
