Day 186 - 10 Nov 95 - Page 58


     
     1        and Friday as days with nothing in them.
     2
     3   MS. STEEL:   I just wanted to say something else, which is that
     4        Mr. Lamti, his evidence has to be translated.  So it is
     5        very likely that it will take longer than half a day.
     6
     7   MR. RAMPTON:  I will come back on that, if I may, in a moment,
     8        but I simply do not understand that.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us suppose, for a moment, that Mr. Lamti
    11        took the whole of Monday, or even went to, let us say,
    12        mid-day on Tuesday.  I mean, at the moment I find it
    13        difficult to see how he should, but the last thing I want
    14        to ask for tonight is the details which you have given to
    15        McDonald's about the additional matters ---
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  I will hand them up anyway.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- so I can take those away with me for the
    20        weekend, but we have then got -- we have either got three
    21        and a half or possibly four days with nothing in them.
    22        Really what we need to do is somehow or other fill a couple
    23        of them anyway.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  What we really have is the space vacated by us to
    26        save not to call Mrs. Villneuve-Gallaiz.  So ....
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I appreciate that, but that does not mean to
    29        say you do not fill it with something else.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Actually I was looking for someone to take
    32        her place in any case.  There is also the outstanding
    33        Mr. McGee's Civil Evidence Act notice.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think what you should be prepared to do is
    36        finish off your Civil Evidence Act meaning on employment
    37        anyway.
    38
    39   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is not much to argue about Mr. McGee
    42        when one actually comes to it.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  No.  Then we have to read it out into the record as
    45        well.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  But what is there, a half day of
    48        reading altogether at the most?
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  Probably half a day. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Even allowing for what is admissible, it 
    53        cannot be more than -- it may well be less than an hour and
    54        it could not possibly be more than as much as half a day,
    55        I would not have thought.
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  I will try and schedule a witness there.  The other
    58        thing is that, just for the record, I have got Mr. Brett on
    59        Friday, 11th December.  I am trying to put all the
    60        Colchester people -- sorry, Monday, 11th December.  You
