Day 036 - 13 Oct 94 - Page 60
1 whether, if he is not finished tomorrow -- he may well be
2 -- he is available on Monday.
3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If we did not finish your evidence tomorrow,
5 Mr. Cox, could you come back on Monday morning?
6
7 MR. COX: Yes, I would be pleased to come on Monday morning.
8 Monday afternoon might be more difficult for me.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I would be grateful if you keep yourself
11 available for Monday morning as well. I think what you
12 need to do is find out from Professor Crawford certainly
13 if he can come on Tuesday; find out also if he would be
14 able to come at comparatively short notice, by which
15 I mean if he were told on Friday afternoon on Monday,
16 because if it was clear that Mr. Cox's evidence would be
17 completed tomorrow or fairly early on Monday, we might be
18 able to start Professor Crawford which would give so much
19 better chance of completing him on the Tuesday in good
20 time for his appointment.
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: I do not believe, my Lord, that, in fact, he will
23 be even that long, but one wants to be sure about these
24 things. I would only say this. I do have a vague
25 recollection that he looked at his diary while he was here
26 and he could not do Monday.
27
28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Very well. Perhaps someone could check on
29 that?.
30
31 MR. MORRIS: We will do.
32
33 MR. RAMPTON: That leaves the only loose end, the completely
34 loose end, to be the doctor of technician, Mr. Brown, and
35 of course Mrs. Brophey. I do not know whether the
36 Defendants any longer think Mr. Brown has anything to
37 contribute to this case. It is a matter for them and your
38 Lordship. Plainly, Jane Brophey does have something to
39 say; whether it is controversial is entirely another
40 question, but they ought, with respect, to be fitted in
41 before we start advertising.
42
43 I do want to start advertising as it is listed at the
44 moment, that is to say, the end of the week beginning
45 24th October for this reason, amongst others, that
46 Mr. David Green, who is one of the American McDonald's
47 people, has been fixed to come, or has fixed himself to
48 come, at that time for some considerable time. He is
49 arriving that weekend.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, you mentioned that before.
52
53 MS. STEEL: So, would it be possible to move John Hawkes so we
54 can fit in Jane Brophey? I do not actually know whether
55 she is available, to be honest.
56
57 MR. RAMPTON: I am looking at the blank week before it
58 actually, the tail ends of the Defendants' nutritional
59 evidence, should they want to call it; that is what I want
60 to know.
