Day 245 - 07 May 96 - Page 78
1 Q. Right.
2
3 MR. MORRIS: I want to ask about the statement. Just one thing
4 that concerned me about the early day motions by Jeremy
5 Corbyn MP signed by other MPs as well, that you have used
6 them in your defence to our counterclaim; do you know about
7 that?
8 A. Well, I know something about the early day motions;
9 but, I am sorry, without referring to them and being shown
10 what you are talking about I am a bit at a loss.
11
12 Q. I am a bit, sort of, nervous about bringing up any
13 documents at this time of day.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Look, I am not saying you must finish your
16 cross-examination on the counterclaim. Quite frankly,
17 I think the best thing to do, having asked questions today,
18 is that we adjourn now and we are not sitting tomorrow.
19 If, by Thursday morning, you have realised that there are
20 one or two matters you should have put, then put them on
21 Thursday morning when we return.
22
23 MR. MORRIS: I just cannot remember now whether -----
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Quite frankly, if you think you will finish
26 tonight and you think of something tomorrow, you will ask
27 it on Thursday anyway.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Just on the early day motions that the
30 Plaintiffs -- as you will know, it is in there -- but I do
31 not know if the actual motions were disclosed as part of
32 the documents, because, if not, I have got copies of them
33 here.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you want to ask questions about that, what
36 I suggest you do is make photocopies and then tell me where
37 you want them put when you come back on Thursday morning.
38
39 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Can I hand it in now? I have got copies.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, you can if you want.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Just in case .....
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Then you want to ask one or two questions on
46 that tonight, do you?
47
48 MR. MORRIS: No, I do not think so. I might as well give
49 everybody a chance to read it.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: I believe it is in the counterclaim bundles,
52 anyway.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It may well be. What I would like, when we
55 come back on Thursday morning, is if someone can tell me
56 where it is; but I will look at it by Thursday morning,
57 anyway.
58
59 Is there anything more you want to ask tonight so you have
60 got information you need before you continue on Thursday
