Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.
There is no reason why signing the settlement agreement in Iraq has anything to do with the case. You could have signed it on the moon. It makes no difference.
The important issue is that there is no report from the family advocate in the file yet... that's a problem, and a reason to postpone the case.
