Mr Carrim has not complied with the Commission's request to be examined by a specialist to confirm his medical fitness to testify.
“we asked that Mr Carrim make himself available for examination by a specialist appointed by the Commission to confirm that he was indeed not medically fit to comply, and he has not yet responded, or has not yet complied with that request”
Mr Carrim has been medically unfit to appear for this second time and the Commission requests to postpone his appearance to 15 July 2026 to allow for possible recovery or confirmation of his medical state.
“So we sit in a situation today where this is the second appearance for which Mr Carrim has been medically unfit to appear ... we accept that he is not available to testify today, and that he has been admitted to hospital, so we cannot have him here today ... we would ask of the Commission is to postpone his appearance to the 15th of July”
If Mr Carrim is not available to testify on 15 July 2026 due to medical unfitness, and does not submit to an independent medical examination confirming incapacity, proceedings will recommend his prosecution for hindrance under the Commission's Act.
“If he is not here and is still, on his version, medically unfit, we will no longer seek his appearance on the 15th of July, but if he has subjected himself to independent examination by a specialist appointed by the Commission, and that independent specialist confirms his incapacity to testify, we will not ask for him to be called again ... If Mr Carrim does not agree to be examined by an independent specialist, then we will ask the Commission to recommend that he be prosecuted under Section 5 and 6 of the Commission's Act and Regulation 12.2 for hindering the proceedings of the Commission”
