2 [Rule 77 Hearing]
3 [Open session]
4 [The appellant entered court]
5 --- Upon commencing at 10.17 a.m.
6 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: The Appeals Chamber is
7 now in session, Mr. Registrar.
8 THE REGISTRAR: This is case IT-94-1-A-R77,
9 the Prosecutor versus Dusko Tadic, in a matter
10 concerning allegations against prior counsel.
11 MR. ABELL: As Your Honours are aware, I
12 appear on behalf of the interested party, Dusko Tadic.
13 May I firstly say how grateful I am to Your Honours for
14 allowing me just a little time this morning before Your
15 Honours came into court. It has been helpful and
16 useful, if I may say so.
17 Secondly, the next witness who is to give
18 evidence, I understand, would wish to give his evidence
19 in closed session. There was a letter written by
20 Mr. Livingston to the Tribunal on the 17th of November
21 of last year indicating firstly that he wished to give
22 his evidence in that way, and secondly indicating the
23 reasons why he would wish to give his evidence in that
24 way. I hope I don't need to say more than that in open
25 court.

1 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: Are there any objections
2 to the motion?
3 MS. HOLLIS: Your Honour, we're not exactly
4 sure who the next witness is, but regardless of who
5 that is, we would not object to a closed session.
6 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: Mr. Abell, would you
7 like to explain a little more?
8 MR. ABELL: Yes. The next witness is
9 (redacted).
10 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: I thought that placed
11 the responsibility on you to call the name, just in
12 case there were any difficulties.
13 MR. ABELL: Your Honour, certainly.
14 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: Mr. Domazet, any
15 objections?
16 MR. DOMAZET: No.
17 JUDGE SHAHABUDDEEN: Then it is so ordered.
18 There will be a closed session.
19 Mr. Registrar, will you make the
20 arrangements?
21 THE REGISTRAR: Of course, Your Honour.
