(#P220_21838) At the hearing of the appeal, it was a fact agreed between the parties based upon information gathered after the hearing before Watson VP that the actual number of unplanned absences was 65 from 6.00 am on 14 June to 6.00 am on 17 June. We do not consider this corrected factual position vitiated the conclusions reached by his Honour about this matter.
