3 On that sort of basis, because you will have a bit of time
4 over the weekend where you can reflect on Mr. Stanton's
5 evidence having heard all his evidence-in-chief, how long
6 do you think you are going to need to complete your
7 cross-examination?
8
9 MR. MORRIS: I think it will certainly take more than Monday.
10 He was originally scheduled for three days, so we lost that
11 yesterday because of the interlocutories. I cannot see it
12 going beyond Tuesday, but certainly I do not expect we will
13 be completed before -- I mean Mr. Davies could wait in the
14 wings, so to speak, on Tuesday but I think ----
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Where does he have to come from?
17
18 MR. ATKINSON: It is not a problem, apparently, I have been
19 told. He is in the wings ready to come.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I will say is there is no need, unless
22 you require it or he would like to be here in any event,
23 for Mr. Davies to be here on Monday, and sometime around
24 the break time on Monday afternoon if you have not finished
25 by then I will ask you the same sort of question.
26
27 MR. MORRIS: This is Tuesday?
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Davies need not be here before Tuesday.
30 He need not come on Monday if you tell me you are going to
31 fill Monday with cross-examination of Mr. Stanton.
32
33 MR. MORRIS: Yes, that is we are saying.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am saying therefore Mr. Davies need not
36 attend at all on Monday. Around the time of our usual
37 mid-afternoon break on Monday I will ask you how much
38 longer you think you going to be in cross-examination and
39 then we will try to help as to when Mr. Davies should
40 attend.
41
42 The final matter is I have to deal with an election
43 petition in another court at 9.30 on Monday, but I do not
44 suppose that it will take anywhere near like until like
45 10.30, so everyone should be ready to resume at 10.30.
46 I hope I will not be late.
