1 confident they are going to come?
2
3 MR. MORRIS: Yes. I have not had time to phone many and some of
4 them are, of course, hard to get hold of sometimes or get
5 back to.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Who, if anyone, have you actually spoken to
8 who has indicated they are going to come?
9
10 MR. MORRIS: Since I sent the letters, the ones I have actually
11 directly spoken to and said, you know -- let us say this
12 year, ones I have definitely spoken to -- I have not
13 actually got my own list here, I am taking it off the court
14 list -- Simon Gidney, Colchester -- these are people that
15 I have spoken to this year -- I mean, all of the people, as
16 far as I know, are coming unless I hear to the contrary;
17 these are the ones I have spoken to this year and discussed
18 the evidence in the case and may be I have sent them
19 further papers or whatever -- Phil Pearson, obviously, he
20 is our expert and, in fact he was in court yesterday; Anne
21 Tobin; Michael Logan; Rosemary Lovett, believe it or not,
22 we have lost her address but I am sure that is just a small
23 matter.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can I just take you up on that? It is the
26 small matter if you are confident of being able to find it
27 soon, but it is not a small matter if you have no idea
28 where she is and how you can trace her. It is all right to
29 say: "I am sure they are all going to come", but they
30 cannot come if they do not know where to come and when to
31 come. Even if Rosemary Lovett is sitting on the edge of
32 her seat with anxiety to be here and give evidence, if she
33 cannot be told when to come she is not going to arrive.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: Yes. She is the one, you remember, who has made a
36 statement saying she saw this memo about breaches -----
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I will look at them all again.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: Ian Whittle.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What about him?
43
44 MR. MORRIS: Yes, he is someone I have spoken to; in fact,
45 I spoke to him yesterday. These are people I
46 have specifically spoken to this year. Then I do not know
47 what the question was about the Civil Evidence Act
48 witnesses?
49
50 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are there any others before I mention the
51 Civil Evidence?
52
53 MR. MORRIS: Not on the list I have in court.
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I forgot to mention, there were two
56 French witnesses who, when he served the statements, whose
57 statements he served, Mr. Morris said were definitely going
58 to come to court. I do not know whether that stands as
59 being the position.
