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.

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 -----

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.
