Day 185 - 07 Nov 95 - Page 59
1 and various collateral -----?
2 A. The only thing I knew about was the vote; that is the
3 only part I heard about, that they decided for a vote.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: Right. So other people decided on those, and then
6 you found out about it?
7 A. It was the lawyers who decided, I guess; and that is --
8 they came back and told us.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Shall we have the break, then?
11
12 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Five minutes.
15
16 (Short Adjournment)
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: How do you think you are doing on timing?
19
20 MR. MORRIS: We are not sure if we will finish today.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: There is no pressure on you to finish today,
23 in that three days were allowed; but, obviously, if you
24 can, you are going to have the two days. If, for instance,
25 you finish cross-examining this afternoon, I would not
26 contemplate -- unless there was some special need -- having
27 anything else tomorrow or Thursday. So you would have the
28 two days which you had hoped to have to help you with the
29 Bath documents, which I know have now appeared. But it is
30 entirely a matter for you. I know you have some difficulty
31 with domestic arrangements, but I would be prepared to sit
32 on a little if it would help to finish.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness): You commented on Sarah Ingliss'
35 statement about the visit of Marianne Drummond from
36 McDonald's Head Office. Is she from Canada McDonald's?
37 A. As far as I know, she is.
38
39 Q. She is still -- what is her position?
40 A. I do not know what her position is, but I assume she is
41 in customer relations or human resources, or something.
42 I do not know what she is.
43
44 Q. Right. Is that the only time she has been to the store?
45 A. That is the only time I have seen her.
46
47 Q. Right.
48 A. But I have heard of other visits by people from Head
49 Office, but not spoken to me, myself.
50
51 Q. There have been other visits from people from Head Office,
52 or is it a rare occasion?
53 A. No. That is normal. I have heard of other ones, but
54 they have not spoken to me.
55
56 Q. They do not normally speak to staff; they normally speak to
57 the Manager?
58 A. No, they speak to staff. I was not working that day; I
59 was off before she came, or she did not get a chance to
60 talk to me.
