Dear Mr Nelson,

I understand from our involvement in recent cases that it is the policy of the SPSA not to allow the copying of case files and operating procedures by the defence.

I would be most obliged if you would clarify what policy exists in this area and I further suggest that we meet to discuss how we can resolve any issues regarding this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Prof Allan Jamieson
