8. MUCH NOW HANGS ON THE TIMING POINT (PARA 3B). WE HAVE A GOOD CASE. WE HAVE ASKED OUR LAWYER TO PUT IT FULLY AND EMPHATICALLY ON 8 OCTOBER.
9. BECAUSE THIS EXTRADITION CASE IS BREAKING NEW LEGAL GROUND, PREPARATION FOR THE CONSEIL D'ETAT SESSION HAS PROVOKED INTEREST. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHICH WAY THE CONSEIL D'ETAT WILL GO, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE A GOOD INDICATION BY THE END OF THE SESSION.
10.
FCO PLEASE ADVANCE TO WOOLER, ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
