Action for CM to get in touch with Hugo to write a report.

Potentially need to have ‘bat report’ for top courts – this cant be done until the summer.

Decision to made if application is submitted to cover all 5 courts or to split application - courts 1&2 first and then 3-5 once we have bat report.
