Day 196 - 06 Dec 95 - Page 32

2 MR. RAMPTON: Her intrusion into Sun Valley. I want to be able
3 to do that, because my understanding is that when he or she
4 -- I do not know which it was -- had a look, they decided
5 that what Vicky Watkins had said or shown did not found any
6 kind of a complaint against any regulations or laws of this
7 country. But until I can find the inspector who went and
8 inspected the place which Vicky Watkins filmed, I cannot do
9 very much about it. It does not mean that Vicky Watkins
10 cannot be called, except that I would like to reserve my
11 position about the inspector.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest is you arrange for Vicky
14 Watkins to come on Friday morning, but make sure you have
15 some way of communicating with her. Tell her she is
16 expected to be here by 10.30 on Friday morning, but you
17 will ring her tomorrow afternoon if there is any change.
18
19 MS. STEEL: If Mr. Coton is not finished or something?
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
22
23 MS. STEEL: She has to come quite a long way actually from
24 Wales. I presume she can get here for 10.30 OK but .....
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Make arrangements for you to be able to ring
27 her sometime during the mid-day adjournment tomorrow.
28
29 MS. STEEL: Tomorrow?
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. If I were you, get in touch with her
32 tonight and say that you want her to come on Friday
33 morning, but if there is any change you will get in touch
34 with her tomorrow lunch time.
35
36 MS. STEEL: OK. Can I just say, as far as evidence-in-chief
37 goes, the video lasts something like 10 minutes at the most
38 and her statement is extremely brief. I do not think she
39 will be longer than half an hour or three quarters of an
40 hour. If it does not matter too much, then because she has
41 got to come a long way it might be easier if we start
42 slightly later.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us see how we are going tomorrow. What
45 I would like you to do is make a list for me which you can
46 probably do very quickly overnight of statements you might
47 read on Friday. The other thing you can do which would be
48 helpful to me, because we are getting well through the
49 evidence on employment now, is be able to go through the
50 list and tell me what the final situation is as to who is
51 to be called, who is to be read, and which evidence one way
52 or another may have fallen by the wayside, because I made a
53 list of stores which are mentioned in the statements in the
54 United Kingdom and it came to about 30 altogether. If
55 I can forget some of those because evidence is not going to
56 be called one way or another -- it will not be held against
57 you that they have fallen by the wayside -- I would like to
58 be able to cross them off my list and know that I need not
59 bother about them any longer. So we can do that sort of
60 thing on Friday as well.
