     1        being late", he has added "and sick".

     3   MR. RAMPTON:  Then, my Lord, in the last line but one, I think
     4        your Lordship read "removed" instead of "dismissed".
     5        I think it is "dismissed".
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL: "Dismissed", is it?
     8
     9   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes.  That does not make any difference.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  I would agree with that.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just in case there is any doubt, at the
    14        beginning of the line above, there is something in
    15        scribble, but I could not make a word out of that, so I
    16        have just read "never gave me a verbal or written warning"
    17        and whatever the scribble is at the beginning of the line,
    18        I had not read as a word.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  I think this document, the Plaintiffs have the
    21        original, so maybe if there is any -----
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would have thought it unlikely there is
    24        anything extra in it we have not got now.
    25
    26   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The next one you have to think about, because
    29        it is various statements by Michael Soriano.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I am certainly not in a position to deal
    34        with that.  There is an awful lot of it.  It would not
    35        surprise me at all if it contains material which I would
    36        find objectionable.  I would ask -----
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I will do is I will leave that over.  I
    39        would like the Defendants to think really what, if
    40        anything, they need read apart from Mr. Soriano's statement
    41        of 28th September 1995, whether they are prepared to have
    42        the remainder read and Mr. Rampton may wish to take
    43        objection to it.
    44
    45        Do you want to read the statements of the two Norwegian
    46        people which Mr. Jenssen brought with him, or do you want
    47        me to treat those as read because No. 19 is Mr. Gulliksen
    48        and No. 20 is Miss Odlolien.
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  I do not mind reading them.  I think that both 
    51        sides feel it is helpful if we get more details, but as 
    52        long as it does not prejudice that, I am quite happy to 
    53        read them both out.
    54
    55   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I do not mind if Mr. Morris wants to
    56        listen to himself, but we have all read them very
    57        recently.  Quite what the virtue of having them read while
    58        we all sit here and listen, I really do not know.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I am going to do is I am going to mark
