MR               Archbold is silent on the point. I was just reconsidering
                 POTTINGER:       matters. I don’t know if — I really think it should be
                                  established before we start just by looking at a court
                                  copy of Wilkinson although the difficulty being — or
                                  sometimes Blackstone is clearer than others. But I
                                  think it’s something that really needs to just be checked
                                  before we start because
                 THE              I agree. Because if you can’t prove it
                 RECORDER:
                 MR               Well, the Crown have — we have evidence that we say
                 POTTINGER:   shows he was working at the time.
               2
               218,
                 THE               Working?
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                The defendant will say other -- but who’s — who’s got
                 POTTINGER:   to prove it and to what standard.

                 THE               I understand. Exactly.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                The – I mean, it’s — it’s clear that the Crown say he
                 POTTINGER:   was in work B clothes with a friend, covered in paint.
                 THE               Yes.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                On a weekday afternoon. And he was -- gives some
                 POTTINGER:   kind of explanation.
                 THE               So, if I drove home in my robes that might indicate
                 RECORDER:         that I was working instead of commuting?
                 MR                If — well, that’s the issue. Because there -- there is no
                 POTTINGER:   dispute that there was in policy — in force a valid
                                   policy.
                 THE               Has -- anyone got this policy?
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                There’s some correspondence which has been
                 POTTINGER:        obtained, yes. The officer at the time made enquiries
                                   with the insurance company.
                 THE               Okay.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                But whether it covers the use -- and I --1 do also have
                 POTTINGER:   recollections that — I just want to see if I can find a
                                   reference because I
                 THE               Do you? Well, I think — I think you need to find
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                I think there are cases covering where there’s a clause
                 POTTINGER:   in the policy and what — what exactly offence, if
                                   anything, committed.
                 THE               Yes.
