     1        document in the original.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  It is one that Mr. Riley copied for the rest of us
     6        this morning.  Does your Lordship have it?
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have it.  I was just thinking where
     9        I should put it amongst the others.
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  I have marked it A1 because it really comes
    12        chronologically after the first document.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Right, 1A.
    15
    16   MR. RAMPTON:  My question is only this, Mr. Jenssen:  Do you
    17        know whose handwriting it is in the bottom left-hand corner
    18        of the page?  "Original HRAF demands for collective
    19        agreements"?
    20        A.  Yes, that is mine.
    21
    22   Q.   That is yours?
    23        A.  Yes.
    24
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I really do not think I can take it any
    26        further, I do not think.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  Would you like just to sit down for a
    29        moment, Mr. Jenssen?
    30
    31        What do you want to do then, Mr. Rampton?
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, there are certain things on which I can
    34        certainly take further instructions.  My own personal view,
    35        unless your Lordship has a strong view or even, indeed, any
    36        view to the contrary, is that there really is not any need
    37        for Mr. Jenssen to come back tomorrow for this reason, that
    38        I do not make any suggestion that he is not doing his best
    39        to tell your Lordship the truth as he knows and sees it.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Indeed, he has both made and, indeed,
    42        volunteered concessions in the course of his evidence
    43
    44   MR. RAMPTON:  I have no wish to challenge him for the sake of
    45        it.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  I can deal now, sooner rather than later, with the
    50        various matters which I am not presently equipped, either 
    51        in full or at all, to deal with.  I hope that I can do that 
    52        by way of a Civil Evidence Act statement in due course. 
    53        Quite honestly, to keep Mr. Jenssen here while I get what,
    54        without going through the Norwegian documents and without
    55        documentary material in my hand, instructions which are
    56        likely to be not more than three-quarters baked just so
    57        that I can put them to him tomorrow may not be very
    58        sensible, really.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think it is best -- I will ask Ms. Steel
