Day 268 - 24 Jun 96 - Page 35


     
     1        Mr. Pocklington because your Lordship on Friday said they
     2        should tell us by Monday morning and tell us if they want
     3        them, how long they are likely to be.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the position?
     6
     7   MS. STEEL:  Well, I am still concerned about this point.  I do
     8        not really know what the best thing to do is.  Whether or
     9        not, I mean, if the Plaintiffs would admit that you know,
    10        basically withdraw that as part of their case, that the
    11        leaflets being printed by me on that occasion; their
    12        allegation that they were about the fair, when I say that
    13        they were for the IMF which is backed up by the notes of
    14        the recent, in the recent-----
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us take it step by step.  That was Mr.
    17        Bishop, was it?
    18
    19   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, I suggest you merely say you want Mr.
    22        Bishop recalled.  It is only in relation to that point, but
    23        if an admission which you find is satisfactory in relation
    24        to that is made, then you will not require his recall, but
    25        the point is you want him recalled to put that to him--
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Unless the admission is made.  So that is the
    30        state of play at the moment.  What about Mr. Pocklington?
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:  I am pretty sure there is nothing there.
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    35
    36   MR. ATKINSON:   You do not want him recalled?
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think what you have got to -- that is
    41        right, is it?
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:  I do not remember anything that I wanted to ask him
    44        about.  I had actually forgotten we were supposed to be
    45        doing this point.  I did read them and I do not remember
    46        anything sticking in my mind, I want to ask Mr. Pocklington
    47        about that.
    48
    49   MR. ATKINSON:  The only problem is that Mr. Pocklington could
    50        come on Wednesday and that was what your Lordship was
    51        envisaging.  Obviously, if he is to come, we need to tell
    52        him.
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:  OK.  Well, if we can assume he is not coming unless
    55        I telephone Mrs. Brindley-Codd to tell her that I do want
    56        him.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I will say to make it formal, although
    59        it sounds much fiercer than it is meant to be.  If you do
    60        not tell Mrs. Brindley-Codd, I will say by 10.30 tomorrow
