In response, Ms Reed referred to an "entry on November, when I think you accept that you met Geraldine and it says: 'attending: Duncan at Walker Crips to discuss Reg's will.'" Ms Reed added: "One thing that comes out through your evidence is that you were perfectly content to act on Charlie's instructions without actually worrying about whether these were Reg's intentions."

Ms Reed asked Mr Rann whether this "point of examination" referred to the fact that Mr Bond had gone into hospital the day before. Mr Rann replied: "I think what I'm trying to say that I didn't discuss the will after the 8 November."Mr Rann replied: "I understand what you're saying, but once again you're trying to twist the reality of the situation.Ms Reed then brought up a note Mr Rann had to send to a person called Jed saying: "Thanks Jed, that's perfect, we obviously thought about this issue beforehand and I'm happy it covers everything we need.
