2 MR. RAMPTON: Then the next two -----
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to deal with them one by one or
5 altogether?
6
7 MR. MORRIS: It might be better if we do it at the end. We will
8 just identify them and talk about it ourselves.
9
10 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, the next two, I think, are on page ten,
11 the two middle paragraphs. I am saying this without
12 looking back at the transcript.
13
14 MR. MORRIS: There is nothing identified on page ten.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, I do not have anything on page ten.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: Perhaps I did not raise it then. The next one
19 then is 11, and that is because of what appears partly --
20 it is partly because of what is actually written there; the
21 words from "this girl" down to "sick pay". The principal
22 reason for it, apart from the words that actually appear
23 there, was because of what appears on page 3 of the
24 supplementary statement.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You have got the foot of page 2 ----
27
28 MR. RAMPTON: Is it the foot of page 2? Yes, that is right,
29 sorry -- from the foot of page 2 beginning, "I think", and
30 then the first paragraph on page 3, which again is the
31 plainest possible hearsay. Apart from that, as I have said
32 before, there is an awful lot that looks as if it is
33 probably hearsay. I do not think I had anything else,
34 except the first paragraph on page 1 of the continuation
35 statement, the last three sentences: "One person told
36 me".
37
38 MR. MORRIS: Sorry, where are we up to? Page 1 of the
39 continuation -----
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, the last three sentences of the first
42 paragraph.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: That is a new one.
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I have not got that.
47
48 MR. RAMPTON: Perhaps I did not get to it or I forgot it, but
49 anyhow I notice it now because it is quite obviously
50 hearsay. I do not know if it helps for the future, but can
51 I give your Lordship a reference in the case which has just
52 been published -- I am not going to read it now; it is not
53 fair; anyway the Defendants have not got it -- in the
54 latest part of the Weeklys for the 10th November 1995, to a
55 case called -----
56
57 MS. STEEL: What is the Weekly?
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Weekly Law Reports.
