    22   Q.   I see.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  We have not got any further questions.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.  Thank you very much for coming,
    27        Professor Campbell.  If you would like to leave the witness
    28        box.
    29
    30                        (The witness withdrew)
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   What about tomorrow?
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, there is no witness listed for tomorrow.
    35        There is always Mr. Nicholson to finish.  I do not know if
    36        your Lordship has heard; I may have a certain personal
    37        difficulty for tomorrow, but if it is cross-examination of
    38        Mr. Nicholson, I could arrange for Mr. Atkinson to be here
    39        in my place, if your Lordship will forgive me.  Maybe
    40        I shall be in court anyway.  I am not suggesting on my
    41        account your Lordship should lose a day of court time.  The
    42        only use would be if there is any serious interlocutory
    43        matter; then I probably ought to do that.
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:   If I could just say that we have had a letter from
    46        the Appeal Court, and we have to get the bundles done and
    47        served this week.  So, it would actually be helpful if
    48        Mr. Rampton does not particularly want to sit tomorrow.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  On this occasion I am not going to press the 
    51        point.  If Mr. Rampton has a difficulty anyway, if you have 
    52        something you want to do tomorrow which is related to the 
    53        case, I think the cleanest thing is to adjourn now until
    54        Thursday morning, when we will hear Mr. Fairgrieve.  Should
    55        Mr. Fairgrieve finish comfortably before the end of Friday,
    56        then I would like you to be prepared to go back to Mr.
    57        Nicholson then, provided Mr. Nicholson can attend.  Do you
    58        understand?
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
