This appeal was heard together in the appeal in VAO. No separate or distinguishable ground of appeal was raised in this appeal which would result in the appeal being allowed if the appeal in VAO were dismissed. Consequently for the reasons we gave in VAO this appeal will also be dismissed with costs.
