1 me may be enough for the purpose you have in mind. You do
2 not have to decide now.
3
4 MS. STEEL: I think it would be helpful if the Plaintiffs do not
5 just serve counter notices for the sake of it.
6
7 MR. RAMPTON: No.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We have not got to that stage yet.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: I do not do that, if I may respectfully say so.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The first page of the letter of 26th January
14 1993, the fourth paragraph down, I take that as evidence
15 that Sun Valley Poultry Limited's plan was that in July of
16 1993, by which time it was expected that contractees would
17 be fully trained to deal with Sun Valley's procedures, they
18 would move from eight loads to 12 loads a day allowing one
19 further Sun Valley team to be disbanded.
20
21 MS. STEEL: Yes.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you see?
24
25 MS. STEEL: Yes.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have only picked on that paragraph as an
28 example. What I suggest is you when have a spare moment or
29 two think about whether in respect of anything else in the
30 documents you need more than that sort of effect. If you
31 are anxious about it raise it with me sometime next term.
32
33 MS. STEEL: We will check what Dr. Pattison said. To be honest,
34 I do not think he disagreed that much with what Mr. Bruton
35 was saying anyway but, yes, we will check that through.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is there anything else we must do?
38
39 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, yes, I am anxious to have an update about
40 the Defendants' employment witnesses. We really do have to
41 get on. We have a bit time off and we have to get on
42 trying to organise our witnesses. That is not just a
43 general statement.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you help as to the enquiries which were
46 sent out, Mr. Morris?
47
48 MR. MORRIS: Yes. We have had four replies so far, all
49 positive.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: How many went out altogether, I have
52 forgotten the number? There were about 30 or 40.
53
54 MR. MORRIS: Some were abroad, so I did not need to send them
55 out abroad. I cannot exactly how many. There would be
56 something like 30 I should think.
57
58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The ones you have had back, have you had ones
59 back indicating they do propose to come?
