2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We have not got to that yet. I will consider
3 it all when it comes out.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: Yes. If the Plaintiffs bear that in mind, if they
6 are going to raise certain questions with Mr. Coton, that
7 the documents we have asked for are clearly relevant to,
8 for example, if they are going to claim that Mark Davis
9 knew nothing about X-Y-Z, or Frank Stanton did, then they
10 should disclose the copies of the documents that we have
11 requested because they are relevant documents, but I will
12 leave it up to the Plaintiffs, otherwise we will object
13 when they ask the questions.
14
15 The final thing is that Mr. Alimi brought with him a
16 personal diary which has purely got the times he worked
17 written in at the time on the day that he did them for
18 March 1986 to June 1986. We have made copies and given
19 them to the Plaintiffs, if you would like a copy? It does
20 relate, of course, to the number of hours that he worked in
21 that period. (Handed).
22
23 MS. STEEL: The second statement, the continuation statement, he
24 does not think he has ever checked it. He has made some
25 corrections to it. He wants to know whether he can take
26 that in the witness box with him or not.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Unless they are very substantial, I think you
29 can. How are you going to deal with Mr. Alimi's evidence?
30
31 MS. STEEL: I was going to take him through it, well, just read
32 his statement.
33
34 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The way I would like you to do it is as soon
35 as you have got Mr. Alimi to introduce himself, read his
36 first statement, which is his original or main one and was
37 made not so very long after he stopped working at
38 McDonald's; if you like ask him a little bit how he came to
39 make that, although I think it is pretty clear from the
40 statement itself. If there are any extra things you want
41 to ask him about, raise them with me first, because I think
42 you might do very well just to get Mr. Alimi to aver his
43 statements.
44
45 Then do the same with the second statement and bring in
46 your amendments which I will write into my own copy.
47
48 MS. STEEL: There is a third statement as well.
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is his third one?
51
52 MS. STEEL: No, there is a third one.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I know there is a third one. Then go on to
55 the third statement and get him to aver that. In relation
56 to the second and third as well, you can ask him, if you
57 like, how he came to make those, although again it is
58 pretty apparent to me how that came to be.
59
60 MR. MORRIS: I wanted to put to him the points made by Mark
