Day 133 - 12 Jun 95 - Page 62


     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  There is a very brief legal matter.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Very well.  (To the witness): Do not discuss
     4        anything else in your evidence.
     5
     6   THE WITNESS:  I was going to ask, I have not made a note of it.
     7        Am I allowed to speak to our solicitors just to check?
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, just speak to Mrs. Brinley-Codd because
    10        you may need her assistance.  You may need her assistance
    11        to make it clear what you have to find out.  You are
    12        certainly entitled to engage her assistance over the
    13        mechanics of getting the answers.
    14
    15   THE WITNESS:  Thank you.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you wish and if she is prepared to do it.
    18
    19                       (The witness withdrew).
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, Mr. Morris?
    22
    23   MR. MORRIS:  It was just to say that we have been looking into
    24        some of the outstanding legal matters that have been put on
    25        one side for quite a substantial time now.  We have not
    26        completed a list, but we are working on a list and we feel
    27        that they may take two or three days.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How long do you think you are
    30        likely -- I would have thought that you might very well
    31        finish Ms. Mead's cross-examining tomorrow, might you not?
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  It is possible, yes.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If that were so do you want to use Wednesday
    36        for some of this, in which case you could tell Mr. Rampton
    37        tomorrow or tell me in open court what you would like to
    38        deal with on Wednesday; or do you want to use Wednesday to
    39        make sure you have everything up to speed?
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, we want to get a list sorted out as soon as
    42        possible, some of which we have to get legal advice on
    43        whether we are going to go into it or not.  The reason
    44        I was saying that really is just so we know ----
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you saying you would like to come back to
    47        that as soon as Mr. Stein has finished?
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  That might be helpful, yes.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think the sooner you get your list out the 
    52        better because Mr. Rampton has to think about it as well. 
    53        Was there anything else?
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The other thing which would help me, by
    58        scouring through my notebook, which I propose to do anyway,
    59        I can probably make up a list of all those employment
    60        witnesses with whom you have had some contact within the
