Day 258 - 07 Jun 96 - Page 64
1 Q. Is basically the reason you did not check because you know
2 that the fact sheets that we are being sued over were not
3 handed out on that day so the video would show that?
4 A. No, and they were handed out because I took one.
5
6 Q. You say you took one which cannot be identified and, well,
7 it has now since disappeared.

9 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I wonder if I could make a suggestion?
10 Things seem to have slowed to a pace, as it were. I do
11 want to have the Defendants' bullet points on publication
12 before the weekend, because my witnesses are coming next
13 week. I wonder if your Lordship would consider perhaps
14 rising in just a minute to give Ms. Steel time to write
15 down anything she says, neatly, what those points are,
16 before we all disperse for the weekend?
17
18 MS. STEEL: We have reached a bit of a break, and actually
19 there was just a couple of things I wanted to raise about
20 some of the inquiry agents' notes. I do not know
21 whether...
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. That will be your evidence for this
24 afternoon, Mr. Nicholson.
25 A. Thank you, my Lord.
26
27 (The witness withdrew).
28
29 MS. STEEL: I have to find the papers for this. The first thing
30 is based on the statement, which is actually the statement
31 of Mr. Pocklington. I think it is his second statement.
32 In paragraph 7 he did not say the date of the meeting.
33 I have got a note that we were told by Barlow Lyde &
34 Gilbert that it was 23rd November, but it appears that the
35 next paragraph was about 23rd. So it seems like it is
36 unlikely that that paragraph is supposed to be about 23rd.
37 So, if that can be checked and if we could be notified as
38 to what date that meeting is?
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Which meeting are you referring to?
41
42 MS. STEEL: In paragraph 7 of the second statement.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Second statement?
45
46 MR. MORRIS: It says 'the supplementary statement'. Second page
47 at the bottom of the page.
48
49 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well.
50
51 MS. STEEL: The second point is that in the third statement of
52 Mr. Pocklington, in paragraph 16, he refers to the meeting
53 on 22nd March 1990 and we have not been given the notes for
54 that meeting. So, if they could be served as soon as
55 possible. It is on page 5 of the third statement, second
56 supplementary statement.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: Paragraph 16.
59
60 MS. STEEL: 22nd March 1990. We were served a whole load of
