Day 177 - 26 Oct 95 - Page 60
1 Caseview matter, if you were prepared to do that.
2
3 MR. RAMPTON: We are certainly prepared to do that. Equally, my
4 Lord, if your Lordship said, "We are going to lose 35
5 minutes -- 40 minutes, sorry -- of court time, but we do
6 not want this argument to go wrong, we do not want the
7 Defendants" -- it is an important argument ----
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is extremely important.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: We do not want the Defendants to get it wrong and
12 have an unnecessary trip to the Court of Appeal and all
13 that kind of stuff, your Lordship might say, "Let us stop
14 now", we will get a transcript of today's, my submissions
15 today, to the Defendants this evening when it emerges from
16 the printer and they can start tomorrow morning.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
19
20 MR. RAMPTON: It may not get there tonight. That is the
21 trouble.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is what I am talking about. What we
24 will do is I will come back at quarter to four. What
25 I know can be done from past experience is that my -- what
26 I do not know is whether Mr. Dudley can do it; Mr. Styles
27 certainly could and, at one time, I could do it -- is just
28 take the lap top which I have. What is there is
29 transferred on to a floppy disk which is put into my own
30 lap top computer and printed out either on my own printer
31 or my clerk's printer and that only ever used to take a few
32 minutes.
33
34 MR. RAMPTON: For the whole day?
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I did not do it for the whole day
37 because what happened was I highlighted parts and printed
38 those out at the time when I was doing it for my own
39 purposes; but the whole lot can be done.
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, it can. We can easily have that done in
42 chambers or at Barlow's offices. There is no problem about
43 that. It is not always as easy to read as the corrected
44 transcript, of course.
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Does Mrs. Brinley-Codd know how to do it
47 herself?
48
49 MR. RAMPTON: No, I do not think so.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Or Mr. Atkinson?
52
53 MR. RAMPTON: I doubt it.
54
55 MS. STEEL: I do not know whether it is any help but I think the
56 morning's transcript is corrected during the afternoon.
57 So, in theory, that might actually be nearly ready.
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You should have this afternoon's as well.
