Mr Justice Andrew Smith, in concluding on the 14th day of the hearing, said he had "no idea at all" when he would be able to deliver his judgment. "I have a great deal of work to do before I make my judgment," he said. He decided that his draft judgment would be sent out only to a "very tight circle" of named lawyers for the OFT, seven banks and the Nationwide building society. Mr Justice Smith decided that he will probably give the parties to the case just 24 hours to respond to any typographical or factual errors. - 8th February 2008
