Battling barrister

Having just read Day 1 transcript it appeared that Huggins SC had been instructed by CX to really batter the 3 witnesses to fix a particular point in the judge's mind that they were unreliable witnesses with precious little moral scruples:

MR HUGGINS: In my respectful submission, on issues of credibility, even discovery doesn't require documents to be disclosed

HIS LORDSHIP: In my court it does. This is not Perry Mason, Mr Huggins.
