Day 115 - 06 Apr 95 - Page 59
1 left-hand corner, the Rising Sun. How did you come to have
2 that?
3 A. In the same way again, sir, either by a management,
4 namely probably Ray Styles or even Jeff Bowells at this
5 time, could even have given it to us himself, if not by the
6 trade union representative.
7
8 MS. STEEL: Was this the letter that was handed out to all
9 catchers as far as you are aware?
10 A. Yes.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: All the catchers were given a copy of the
13 first document in that bundle, were they?
14 A. The first one, yes.
15
16 Q. Then what about the last document which is Conditions of
17 Employment for Catchers? You do not need to try to read
18 it. It looks like that, Mr. Bruton, do you see?
19 A. To make things short, all documents of this bundle
20 would have been handed by management or union
21 representatives.
22
23 MS. STEEL: These are the conditions of employment as from 22nd
24 May 1993?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. You do not remember in particular who handed you that one?
28 A. I do not. If it will help anyone, I have a pile of
29 documents at home and I will go through and see if I can
30 find any.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not sure if it will. Some people might
33 take the view that we have more than enough documents in
34 this case. Is there any more you want to ask Mr. Bruton?
35
36 MS. STEEL: No.
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: I would like to ask one question arising out of
39 that.

41 Further Cross-Examined by Mr. Rampton Q.C.
42
43 Q. Mr. Bruton, can you turn to the very last page of that
44 document, please, and I will read it out. Right at the end
45 it says: "I agree to work to these conditions as from 22nd
46 May 1993." This copy that I have got is not signed. Would
47 that be because you were dismissed before you had a chance
48 to sign it?
49 A. No, sir.
50
51 Q. Did you sign it?
52 A. I have never signed no contract of Sun Valley.
53
54 Q. You have not? So you never signed this document?
55 A. No.
56
57 Q. It is actually comes just a couple of days before you were
58 sacked, does it not?
59 A. We have seen a number of documents like this, sir, "to
60 sign or else" and I am sure if you look back to Sun Valley
