Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 14
1 A. I do not know the exact time that -----
2
3 Q. How many do you think, from your memory, that you
4 reviewed? Has it just one or two audits in it or has it 10
5 or 15?
6 A. I honestly cannot remember how many audits it has
7 within the file.
8
9 Q. This audit here that we are looking, 171, is 18th February
10 1994. It says date of last audit is February 1993. Is it
11 sort of generally annually done; is that the general
12 pattern?
13 A. No. I would not say it was the general pattern that
14 they were formed on this basis. They would aim to complete
15 them every three months or so.
16
17 Q. Every three months. So what was the reason -- do you know
18 why there was a 12 month period between February 1993 and
19 February 1994?
20
21 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, there was not; there was one on
22 12th October 1993 by the Human Resources Department.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Where are you looking at for your February?
25
26 MR. MORRIS: I am sorry about that. It is 171 at the top. It
27 says: "Date, 18th February 1994", and then it says, under
28 "Date of last audit", "February 1993".
29
30 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, this is a Supervisor's audit. The
31 previous one was a Human Resources audit. There are two
32 different kinds of audit. Maybe, for all I know -- I do
33 not know -- Supervisors only do it once a year.
34
35 MR. MORRIS (To the witness): Is that your recollection, then,
36 Mr. Henden?
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you help on this: can you remember when
39 audits of whatever kind had to be done, how frequently?
40 A. As I was aware, they should be done three monthly, or
41 would aim to be done three monthly.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Following this, do you remember this period date,
44 around about February 1994, when this audit was done?
45 A. I remember being in the store, yes, when Fred Fenwick
46 was -----
47
48 Q. Was Manager?
49 A. Yes.
50
51 Q. He was only Manager for a short time, was he?
52 A. I cannot remember the exact date. I think he may have
53 left in June, or May or June, end of May or June.
54
55 Q. Right. You have said in your statement that Dave Wynne was
56 Store Manager between June 1993 and February 1994. This is
57 dated 18th February 1994, and it is Fred Fenwick. Can you
58 enlighten us on that?
59 A. Sorry, you asked me when -----
