Day 209 - 25 Jan 96 - Page 59

2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We will have a five-minute break, unless
3 Mr. Logan wants longer. During the break, I would like you
4 to think, bearing in mind, as I understand it, you have
5 your dental appointment tomorrow ---
6
7 MR. MORRIS: I know, yes.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- what we are going to do, how far we are
10 going to get tomorrow morning and what we are going to do
11 about scheduling if we have not finished Mr. Logan.
12
13 MR. MORRIS: Can I say, if Mr. Rampton feels that it is going to
14 go beyond tomorrow lunchtime -----
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, it is. It may well go on until tomorrow
17 evening.
18
19 MR. MORRIS: Then maybe it is better that we make the Brazilian
20 interrogatories application tomorrow and Mr. Logan comes
21 back for a full day on ------
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I need to know from you, really, is how
24 long you are expecting Mr. Logan to be giving evidence in
25 answer to your questions, because I can be persuaded, but
26 I am not too happy to get, say, three-quarters way through
27 his evidence and then break off. Breaking off at the end
28 of his evidence-in-chief may or may not be satisfactory.
29 I will hear what you, Ms. Steel and Mr. Rampton want to say
30 about that. Instinctively, I am not very happy about
31 breaking off in chief.
32
33 One of the reasons -- it is no imputation on anyone's good
34 faith -- one tends to come back and start going over things
35 again, which is avoided if you complete evidence-in-chief
36 and then wait for cross-examination.
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Five minutes.
41
42 (Short Adjournment)
43
44 MR. MORRIS: I did check out pages 319 to 327, at your
45 suggestion, Mr. Logan, in volume 2. I do not know if
46 people have it?
47 A. I have 319, yes.
48
49 Q. Tab A2, pages 319 onwards -- because I was not quite sure
50 which day 12.8.93 would be, was it the date at the top, was
51 it the date -- but, also, the implication is that around
52 that time, it is a random check, everything seems to be
53 fine. Yes, I am sorry, I am just saying -----
54
55 MR. JUSTICE BELL: As I understand it, when you say you checked
56 three days, you would have checked the 11th, the 12th and
57 13th August?
58 A. That is right. We checked all the three days, because
59 it could have been any of those. We were not sure which,
60 because there is a problem with, if it is done after
