Day 073 - 13 Jan 95 - Page 56
1 through the whole week with a weekend at both ends,
2 possibly Friday 17th as well 20th to 24th February, I for
3 my part will be perhaps unappealingly resistant to any
4 further request for additional time, let us say, around
5 Easter or anything like that.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us see. Mr. Wignall is your other
8 concern?
9
10 MR. RAMPTON: Wignall and Jarret are the two other witnesses.
11 That is what Mrs. Brinley-Codd says, and I respectfully say
12 it is right. Chambers and Wignall in an order to be
13 arranged according to their convenience in the week
14 beginning the 6th and then Jarret following -- sorry,
15 Jarret and Chambers in the week beginning the 6th followed
16 by Wignall in the next week, whether at the beginning or
17 not.
18
19 MR. MORRIS: When you say "Jarret", is that the name of the
20 person or just someone from Jarret?
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: I cannot possibly say yet because we have not got
23 a witness yet.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is a Jarret person.
26
27 MR. RAMPTON: It might be two people, I do not know.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If we can just go through then, Siddique
30 Ashworth and McIntyre next week. You have to do your best
31 and it is in your own interests to get them completed by
32 the close of play on Wednesday 18th because I want to start
33 Mr. Walker on Wednesday 25th. If we finish them by close
34 of play on Wednesday 18th, you have six days off which you
35 want to take part of the weekend for refreshment before we
36 start again.
37
38 If we finish Mr. McIntyre during the day on Wednesday 18th,
39 we will adjourn then until Wednesday 25th, but if he runs
40 into Thursday we will start anyway on Wednesday 25th with
41 Mr. Walker. We will hope then to start with Mr. Jackson on
42 the morning of Monday 30th, so if Mr. Walker takes the two
43 days you will get Friday free. We will go on with
44 Mr. Kenny on Monday 6th; Mr. Bowes on Monday 13th. This is
45 the proposal, subject to anything untoward happening, and
46 Mr. Pattison on Wednesday 15th.
47
48 If we finish Mr. Pattison by close of play on Friday, you
49 have the whole of your half-term week away from court. So,
50 you see, I am not unsympathetic; I am only human and I do
51 not like being told what to do with court time.
52
53 MR. MORRIS: Yes, I apologise for that; it was just
54 Mr. Rampton -----
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What you must in your own interests do is try
57 to make some provisional arrangement for the very beginning
58 of the week, the half-term week, because if Mr. Pattison
59 did not finish on Friday and was available on Monday, it is
60 only common sense we go into the Monday to finish him
