     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why have you picked August to September of
     4        1994?
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  Because it is my belief, and I am not sure if he
     7        says it in his statement, but from speaking to him on the
     8        telephone, Mr. Logan actually left McDonald's employment
     9        sometime towards the end of last year in the autumn, maybe
    10        October last year, therefore, a period before he left,
    11        because obviously I did not want to set it too far back
    12        because they may have been destroyed, and I wanted it to be
    13        a time when he was actually there so he may be able to
    14        comment on the names that appear.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you not have any names?
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:  Presumably, the point was that Mr. Logan is saying
    19        it was a general practice, something that was happening
    20        regularly.
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  He does not say that.  He says "sometimes".
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You see, he says "sometimes altered people's
    25        clock card reports".
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  "Sometimes".
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  "Sometimes" is not once or twice.  So where are we
    30        now?
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is the bottom of page 3 of his longhand
    33        supplemental statement.
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  From speaking to him, he felt that it would be
    36        something that would appear.  I asked his advice when
    37        I made this application here, and he thought that would be
    38        a reasonable time to see how often that practice was going
    39        on.  He would be able to go to those documents when he
    40        gives evidence.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Take me to the reference to adjustment
    43        sheets.
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, that was what he told me over the phone which
    46        is that when adjustments are made to a daily clock card
    47        report the store kept some kind of adjustment sheet record,
    48        I do not know in exactly what form that is in, otherwise
    49        the daily clock card report may not reveal on its own
    50        without the adjustment sheet exactly what has occurred. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is there any more you want to say about that? 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  No.  The performance review is on page 5 of Michael
    55        Logan's statement.  He criticises the way performance
    56        reviews are done in general.  He says:  "To my knowledge,
    57        reviews were almost always late, often done in large
    58        batches, often using standard language indicating that they
    59        had not been properly done.  Stock phrases", he says in his
    60        statement.  To gauge -----
