A friend of the Manchester Arena bomber is refusing to appear as a witness at the public inquiry into the attack.
Ahmed Taghdi, who was due to appear earlier, is citing health issues and concerns about possible questioning after hearing some of the evidence.
Inquiry chairman Sir John Saunders is intending to enforce his requirement to attend, subject to any medical reports, the inquiry heard.
The issue has been adjourned and will be dealt with in the new year.
Mr Taghdi, from Manchester, was served with a notice to attend as a witness under the Inquiries Act 2005.
