# Madlanga Commission evidence leader Advocate Adila Hassim has questioned the medical evidence supporting North West businessman Suliman Carrim’s application to postpone his testimony. Hassim told the Commission that professional medical guidelines discourage treating doctors from providing independent assessments of a patient’s fitness to participate in legal proceedings. She argued that an independent medical evaluation would be more appropriate to determine Carrim’s ability to testify before the Commission:
