     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have not got to that yet.  I will consider
     3        it all when it comes out.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  If the Plaintiffs bear that in mind, if they
     6        are going to raise certain questions with Mr. Coton, that
     7        the documents we have asked for are clearly relevant to,
     8        for example, if they are going to claim that Mark Davis
     9        knew nothing about X-Y-Z, or Frank Stanton did, then they
    10        should disclose the copies of the documents that we have
    11        requested because they are relevant documents, but I will
    12        leave it up to the Plaintiffs, otherwise we will object
    13        when they ask the questions.
    14
    15        The final thing is that Mr. Alimi brought with him a
    16        personal diary which has purely got the times he worked
    17        written in at the time on the day that he did them for
    18        March 1986 to June 1986.  We have made copies and given
    19        them to the Plaintiffs, if you would like a copy?  It does
    20        relate, of course, to the number of hours that he worked in
    21        that period. (Handed).
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:  The second statement, the continuation statement, he
    24        does not think he has ever checked it.  He has made some
    25        corrections to it.  He wants to know whether he can take
    26        that in the witness box with him or not.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Unless they are very substantial, I think you
    29        can.  How are you going to deal with Mr. Alimi's evidence?
    30
    31   MS. STEEL:  I was going to take him through it, well, just read
    32        his statement.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The way I would like you to do it is as soon
    35        as you have got Mr. Alimi to introduce himself, read his
    36        first statement, which is his original or main one and was
    37        made not so very long after he stopped working at
    38        McDonald's; if you like ask him a little bit how he came to
    39        make that, although I think it is pretty clear from the
    40        statement itself.  If there are any extra things you want
    41        to ask him about, raise them with me first, because I think
    42        you might do very well just to get Mr. Alimi to aver his
    43        statements.
    44
    45        Then do the same with the second statement and bring in
    46        your amendments which I will write into my own copy.
    47
    48   MS. STEEL:  There is a third statement as well.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is his third one? 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:   No, there is a third one. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I know there is a third one.  Then go on to
    55        the third statement and get him to aver that.  In relation
    56        to the second and third as well, you can ask him, if you
    57        like, how he came to make those, although again it is
    58        pretty apparent to me how that came to be.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  I wanted to put to him the points made by Mark
