1 cross-examine get copies of what she has referred to but
2 which has not been previously copied.
3
4 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, that is desirable for another reason,
5 that the week after next is supposed to be gap, so it is
6 desirable, if possible, she should give her evidence next
7 week.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That whole week is not sacrosanct; it was a
10 suggestion. Unless I am called elsewhere because it is
11 thought the week could be made available, we will have to
12 make our arrangements as we go along.
13
14 MS. STEEL: Can I clarify what was going on next week, because
15 I think it was said before that Mr. Miles cannot attend on
16 Tuesday and Wednesday.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: No, he cannot.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What was the day later in the week when he
21 could come back?
22
23 MR. RAMPTON: He can come on Monday where he has always been.
24 He was to have been today and obviously could not come
25 today. He is has also got Thursday free provided -- well,
26 he has it free, but he would like, with your Lordship's
27 leave, to go A.W.L for two hours at lunch time because he
28 has pre-existing business.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He could be here the whole of Monday and on
31 Thursday with a gap in the middle of the day?
32
33 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Were you proposing to go back to Mr. Hawkes
36 on Tuesday and Wednesday?
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, as soon as it was convenient to your
39 Lordship. Tuesday would be, if Mr. Miles has got to not be
40 here on Tuesday, then Mr. Hawkes could come on Tuesday.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So unless we went particularly quickly, we
43 would not get to the Defendants' witnesses until Friday
44 anyway?
45
46 MR. RAMPTON: We might get to them on Wednesday because
47 Mr. Hawkes has been cross-examined to a great extent
48 already.
49
50 MS. STEEL: I do not think we would want to call Miss Dibb
51 before we have finished cross-examining Mr. Miles.
52
53 MR. RAMPTON: Mr. Miles, I suspect, will be about an hour
54 in-chief only, because there will not be any, I suspect,
55 any scientific papers to look at.
56
57 MS. STEEL: If he is going to give the evidence that is in his
58 statement now, there are scientific papers we want to see
59 before we do cross-examination.
