Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 36
1 A. I would say the audit indicates that those 20 marks out
2 of 30 -- I cannot comment on the comment on the previous
3 month; there are no figures there.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: I think we have finished on that subject. It may
6 be a convenient time to break?
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Two o'clock.
9
10 (Luncheon Adjournment)
11
12 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord before the cross-examination continues,
13 would your Lordship say that Mr. Perret, who is next after
14 Mr. Cox who is next after Mr. Ingham, could go today?
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Can we just work out, if it is at all
17 possible, how we are likely to go, and then I can give
18 times for the witnesses involved.
19
20 MR. RAMPTON: There is only Mr. Cox and Mr. Perret to come, so
21 far as we are concerned.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What do you think about Mr. Henden, the rest
24 of Mr. Henden's cross-examination?
25
26 MR. MORRIS: Our general feeling is that Mr. Henden will take up
27 the rest of this afternoon and that we are going to attempt
28 to finish the other two tomorrow. Obviously, we do not
29 have to go through the documents in such great detail,
30 having gone through them with Mr. Henden.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think Mr. Cox had better stay, just in
33 case, but we will say not before 12.00 for Mr. Perret
34 tomorrow. That is realistic, is it?
35
36 MR. MORRIS: I think so.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. If when we get to the five-minute break
39 you are certain that you will not finish Mr. Henden, let me
40 know and Mr. Cox can go then. If we can start Mr. Cox even
41 for a short while this afternoon, so much the better. But
42 we will wait and see.
43
44 MS. STEEL: OK. (To the witness) In paragraph 21 of your
45 statement, you talk about understaffing.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is yellow XB, 39H, Mr. Henden. Do you
48 have it?
49 A. I have.
50
51 Q. If you put it in front of you, then you will not have to
52 turn your back on the court.
53
54 MS. STEEL: You say: "It is alleged by Mike the store was
55 constantly understaffed. I have checked the crew in
56 store...." Can I just ask, are the crew in store on each
57 hour sheets in the bundles?
58 A. I think they are.
59
60 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
