2 Q. Have you considered having trucks with hydraulic platforms
3 in them which can go up and down like a lift?
4 A. Yes, I honestly do not whether the company has
5 considered that or not.
6
7 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, that is the conclusion of my examination
8 in-chief.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to reserve your position in case
11 anything arises out of the document you have been shown?
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: Provisional. I had forgotten about that document.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well. Unless there is anything to
16 be mentioned now?
17
18 MS. STEEL: There were some things that we wanted to serve.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want to do that while I am in court or
21 can you do that anyway? Are they to do with Mr. Chambers?
22
23 MS. STEEL: No, they are not actually.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If they are not to do with Mr. Chambers,
26 I suggest you serve them and if there is any query,
27 obviously, I will try to help.
28
29 MS. STEEL: There is one further pleading which, perhaps, we can
30 serve now which is the reply to the Defence to
31 Counterclaim.
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Serve that as well. Is that something you
34 want me to have now?
35
36 MS. STEEL: It is just dated, so if I do not do it now it will
37 be out of date.
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you want me to have copies of the
40 documents or do you want to serve them on -----
41
42 MS. STEEL: We can do the document later.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Serve the document on Barlows as soon as is
45 convenient. Unless there is any objection to them, you can
46 then hand them to me and I will take a copy of your reply
47 to the Defence to Counterclaim.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: There is one further matter. We wanted to ask for
50 a decision on the Easter break as soon as possible. I do
51 not know if it is possible to decide overnight or what the
52 situation is.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I want to hear what the position is so far as
55 Mr. Beavers is concerned. I have already said and I will
56 say now that I would rather he was not in the week
57 beginning the 10th, whichever the Monday is in April. I
58 would rather he was not in the week which are the three
59 days leading up to Maunday Thursday because it is a
60 constraint on time and nothing would be worse than not
