5 A. Yes, I can do that.
6
7 Q. -- do that and tell us in the morning. That is all.

9 MR. MORRIS: Shall we leave it there for today?
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, My Lord, there is something I wanted to raise
12 in any event, if I may?

14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to ask anything more now?
15

42 relation to Preston. I wonder if your Lordship would
43 simply say that our time for service of the counter notice
44 should not start running until your Lordship has seen and
45 ruled on the proposed amendment? It may never be
46 necessary.
47
48 MS. STEEL: Can I just say, I did mean to bring that today and
49 I forgot to bring it.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not worry. All Mr. Rampton is saying is
52 it would be sensible to have so many days from ------
53
54 MR. RAMPTON: It is 21 days under the rules.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, it is but whether you would need 21 from
57 the moment -----
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: No, I am just reminding your Lordship that is what
