Day 182 - 02 Nov 95 - Page 47
1 document in the original.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: It is one that Mr. Riley copied for the rest of us
6 this morning. Does your Lordship have it?
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have it. I was just thinking where
9 I should put it amongst the others.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: I have marked it A1 because it really comes
12 chronologically after the first document.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Right, 1A.
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: My question is only this, Mr. Jenssen: Do you
17 know whose handwriting it is in the bottom left-hand corner
18 of the page? "Original HRAF demands for collective
19 agreements"?
20 A. Yes, that is mine.
21
22 Q. That is yours?
23 A. Yes.
24
25 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I really do not think I can take it any
26 further, I do not think.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. Would you like just to sit down for a
29 moment, Mr. Jenssen?
30
31 What do you want to do then, Mr. Rampton?
32
33 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, there are certain things on which I can
34 certainly take further instructions. My own personal view,
35 unless your Lordship has a strong view or even, indeed, any
36 view to the contrary, is that there really is not any need
37 for Mr. Jenssen to come back tomorrow for this reason, that
38 I do not make any suggestion that he is not doing his best
39 to tell your Lordship the truth as he knows and sees it.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Indeed, he has both made and, indeed,
42 volunteered concessions in the course of his evidence
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: I have no wish to challenge him for the sake of
45 it.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No.
48
49 MR. RAMPTON: I can deal now, sooner rather than later, with the
50 various matters which I am not presently equipped, either
51 in full or at all, to deal with. I hope that I can do that
52 by way of a Civil Evidence Act statement in due course.
53 Quite honestly, to keep Mr. Jenssen here while I get what,
54 without going through the Norwegian documents and without
55 documentary material in my hand, instructions which are
56 likely to be not more than three-quarters baked just so
57 that I can put them to him tomorrow may not be very
58 sensible, really.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think it is best -- I will ask Ms. Steel
