Day 267 - 21 Jun 96 - Page 09
1 is quite clear. I have had quite a lot of evidence about
2 Bath. Mr. Olive lends his support to some of the
3 complaints, but not all of them. He deals with that in his
4 letter. So far, so good. You can adduce what is in both
5 the letters in the form it is in the letters and you can
6 get him to produce, as it were, the references he has had,
7 but I am not having any more evidence in chief from
8 Mr. Olive because on more than one occasion the question of
9 him giving a further statement which might have included
10 some further potential evidence and detail has been raised,
11 and you said that there is to be no further statement. So
12 that is that. What I suggest -----
13
14 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness): There is one question I was
15 going ask about Mr. Logan's statement. I will not need to
16 ask any more then. You said, basically, you stand by his
17 statement, but there was a question I was going to ask you
18 which was something you pointed out to me that Mr. Logan
19 said himself in the witness box. He said that PR's,
20 performance reviews, were done after two weeks and
21 thereafter every four weeks.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. He changed to it three weeks in his
24 evidence.
25
26 MR. MORRIS: I mean, Mr. Olive has verified his statement but,
27 obviously, he has not verified his evidence. So, do you
28 have any comment about the regularity of performance
29 reviews, when they started, how often they were?
30 A. Well, initially, they were supposed to be after 21
31 days, 21 shifts or three weeks, whichever came sooner.
32
33 Q. Right.
34 A. Then they were supposed to occur every four months.
35 So three - three a year.
36
37 Q. Did that actually happen?
38 A. No, not always.
39
40 Q. Can I just ask a question of the judge. I am prepared not
41 to ask any further questions. The contents of Mr. Logan's
42 statements -----
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I suggest you -----
45
46 MR. MORRIS: It is up to Mr. Rampton to -----
47
48 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Rampton will follow his own course, but I
49 think you have gone as far as you can do under the
50 procedure I have set out.
51
52 MR. MORRIS: Right.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Except that I have the reference and, since
55 Mr. Olive does not have a copy, he can have mine. (Same
56 handed).
57
58 MR. MORRIS: Yes. I was just going to look at the reference.
59
60 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think you should just put that to him. You
