Day 080 - 30 Jan 95 - Page 60


     
     1   MR. RAMPTON:  With your Lordship's leave, I would not call
     2        Professor Jackson tonight.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, I had not appreciated he had come.
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  No, they both came today.  I will call him
     7        tomorrow.  I anticipate that my examination in-chief will
     8        be very short tomorrow; whether that means a short day is
     9        another matter.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will see.  So, the Defendants can really
    12        count on it that -- by that you mean really asking him to
    13        affirm -----
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  No, because there are some scientific questions
    16        raised by your Lordship today which I think he may be able
    17        to answer.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, but basically you expect him to verify
    20        his report and then you have some additional questions.
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  Maybe I will ask twenty minutes or quarter of an
    23        hour of supplementary questions.  The Defendants should be
    24        aware that there is a strong possibility that I shall not
    25        trouble to call Mr. Clark at all, given what is in
    26        Mr. Mills' statement.  He is concerned only with conditions
    27        in the restaurant.
    28
    29        My Lord, the last thing is that your Lordship might like to
    30        insert Mr. Atherton's statement into yellow -- it has got a
    31        Mrs. Brinley-Codd sticker on it which tells your Lordship
    32        what it is -- VII, tab 3.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, thank you. We will resume -----
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  Can we just hold on one second?
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Do sit down, Mr. Walker.  It does not
    39        concern you, Mr. Walker, thank you.
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  Regarding Mr. Clark.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes?
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:  When Mr. Rampton said about not calling Mr. Clark,
    46        did that mean that his statement would be taken as read or
    47        what?
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, there would be no evidence from Mr. Clark
    50        unless Mr. Rampton calls him. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, that is, of course, subject to Mr. North 
    53        not departing from what he says in his statement.  But
    54        since he gives 100 per cent clean bill of health to
    55        McDonald's restaurant, I do not feel we need to call
    56        Mr. Clark.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:  That is not quite true but .....
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have to call him, if you are going to
