2 On page 63, he says also, of course, when there is a lot of
3 team work, it is a pretty kind of meaningless kind of
4 incentive; and he says that the performance needed to get
5 tiny rises is just totally inadequate.

7 You conclude, at the bottom of page 64, that the effect of
8 Mr. Pearson's evidence is that it is not a good incentive
9 and it is not a very high increase, and that people might
10 not be likely to actually try and achieve it -- something
11 like that, anyway.

13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Now, how much have you got?
14
15 MR. MORRIS: I have got about another two minutes to finish day
16 180.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: All right. I am duty judge this week, from
19 about now on and overnight, so I cannot sit too late.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: No. OK.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: But go on and finish the day.
24
25 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I mean go on and finish the day you were
28 doing.
29
30 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Actually, on the middle of page 66, we said
31 about how -- it is a discussion about Mr. Alimi, and you
32 were doing your figures. Our position is that they should
33 have been paying overtime on top of the premium rate.
34
35 You said, at line 26: "I can only suggest that it might be
36 my position"; and then you would do some sums, or you were
37 suggesting that we all did some sums to see what the effect
38 of Mr. Alimi's wage slips were. Then you go on to say
39 various things. That was it, really.
40
41 MR JUSTICE BELL: Right. We will adjourn then until 10.30.
