Day 170 - 05 Oct 95 - Page 21


     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have a pretty shrewd suspicion that, at the
     2        end of the day, it is not going to help me to decide
     3        anything that I cannot perfectly well decide even on what I
     4        have heard ------
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  It may contradict what the witness said.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not know.  You might find it in your
     9        favour anyway.  You do not know yet, do you?
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  We will see.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If it can be found easily, let us have it,
    14        Mr. Rampton.  If there is any real difficulty about it,
    15        raise it again because I may think it will not add enough
    16        to be worthwhile.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I understand, but I was not thinking of disputing
    19        its relevance, nor would I dispute the relevance of the
    20        incident report forms, if there are any, relating to the
    21        other people.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would discourage any further enquiry into
    24        that, quite frankly, on either side.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  In that case I would -----
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  But if you can find the incident report form
    29         -- the Environmental Health Officer coming may well have
    30        been a sequel to what I understand, from experience
    31        elsewhere, to be the normal form, which is that if someone
    32        is injured at work and is off work, the employer has to
    33        fill in one side of a statutory form and the injured person
    34        fills in details as well.  That is for all sorts of reasons
    35        relating to provisions for payment of benefits and things
    36        of that kind as well as making enquiries, and things of
    37        that kind.  But I do not think there is any point in
    38        searching for that.  If you can find the incident report
    39        form, well and good.
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  I just have some documents to serve.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Are there other things apart from that
    44        to raise this morning?
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  I do not think so, no.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us deal with that then.
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  I will say what they are.  (Handed). 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have been given something which I do 
    53        not believe I ought to have.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  You can have that.
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not want it, thank you very much; I do not
    58        see it is relevant.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  If you do not want it, you do not have to have it.
