Day 186 - 10 Nov 95 - Page 61


     
     1        see what you come back with next week.  Are you going to
     2        give me the extra information about Mr. Lamti?
     3
     4   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Let us see what I have here to hand up.
     5        There are a couple of letters.  The first two are letters.
     6        The next one is the Mr. Lamti material, if I can do that
     7        first.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why not hand me the whole lot up and I can
    10        just flick through them?  (Handed)  I will not read those
    11        now.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  There are a couple of other documents to hand up as
    14        well which are, believe it or not, a letter I wrote to
    15        Burger King with a response and also a translation of a
    16        couple of the Norwegian documents from Mr. Jenssen.
    17        (Handed)
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  It is nearly half past four.
    20
    21   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, can I just say that at some stage --
    22        I know not now -- I would appreciate being able to raise
    23        with your Lordship the whole question of what one might
    24        call the future of the evidence in this case and when it
    25        might conceivably finish, only simply because I do have at
    26        some stage to try to fix the people on rainforest that I
    27        have who come from abroad, including Mr. Chester, and not
    28        limited to him.  I am not willing to fix him again and then
    29        move him unless I have to, but I would rather not have to
    30        do that.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We might well be able to ---
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  We might be able to discuss that.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- discuss that on Monday afternoon if your
    37        view of how long Monsieur Lamti will take is correct, or on
    38        Tuesday if the Defendants are correct.  But I think
    39        Mr. Morris -- I address you because you have been mostly
    40        concerned with the employment witnesses so far -- whatever
    41        else we do, when Mr. Lamti is finished, be ready to go on
    42        with the rest of the reading.  I do not think there is a
    43        great deal of it, but really get on with your response to
    44        Mr. McGee -- I would not get too troubled about cutting out
    45        the hearsay bits because I cut them out automatically in my
    46        own mind anyway -- and reading such other witnesses as
    47        there are within the employment sphere.
    48
    49        What you might also do is if you have got Civil Evidence
    50        Act -- this is an issue, you will remember, I mentioned 
    51        several times before -- witnesses in areas which we have 
    52        already dealt with, or substantially dealt with, that is, 
    53        in effect, anything but environment publication and
    54        counterclaim, do a bit of work on just where those are so
    55        that they can be read as well, because that is something
    56        else we might usefully do next week.  But the first
    57        priority is to see if you cannot rustle up some more
    58        evidence for next week.  10.30 on Monday.
    59
    60        (The Court adjourned until Monday, 13th November 1995)
