2 Q. Your first appeal was dismissed on 4th June, was it not?
3 A. I cannot remember the dates but one was, yes.
4
5 Q. You appealed again, did you not, a second stage in the
6 procedure and that too was dismissed?
7 A. Yes.
8
9 Q. You then took out an industrial tribunal complaint?
10 A. Yes, that is right, yes.
11
12 Q. With solicitors to help you; you had some solicitors in
13 Wales?
14 A. The start was yes, but .....
15
16 Q. You then abandoned that complaint on 4th January 1994, did
17 you not?
18 A. I had not option but to abandon it.
19
20 Q. Why?
21 A. Because I never had the money to fund it.
22
23 Q. You could have appeared in person; you are here today. Why
24 did you not do that?
25 A. Because I never had -- I have not got the education to
26 appear.
27
28 Q. Come, come. The allegation was by Sun Valley that you had
29 obtained the property by deception. I will explain what
30 I mean by that.
31 A. I know what you mean.
32
33 Q. You do, but perhaps his Lordship does not. You asked the
34 storeman -----
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just listen to what Mr. Rampton puts to you.
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: You asked the storeman or the supervisor at the
39 equipment store repeatedly for new items of equipment for
40 your work which you did not need. You then kept them in
41 your house and did not use them. It was not your
42 property. You had no right to it, do you understand?
43 A. What you are saying I understand, but I do not agree
44 with that.
45
46 Q. If you do not agree with it and you had a good reason for
47 having that property, you could have presented your case at
48 the industrial tribunal, could you not?
49 A. Yes.
50
51 Q. Why did you not do so?
52 A. Well, there was no need because if there was a case
53 I stole this property, why did not Sun Valley after saying
54 they were going prosecute me for stealing this stuff,
55 namely, one, I was dismissed for having green overalls not
56 blue overalls.
57
58 Q. Can you shout? I am sure you are angry with me anyway. I
59 did not hear that answer.
