Day 111 - 30 Mar 95 - Page 61


     
     1        a quarter past or 20 past four.  I do not mind going on
     2        until half past four, but that is the absolute deadline.
     3
     4   MR. RAMPTON:  If could I just make some enquiries for this
     5        evening?
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not going to be too pernickety about
     8        re-examination, raising a matter which does not technically
     9        come out of cross-examination.  If you get further papers,
    10        I suggest you leave the dismissal letter where it is at the
    11        moment because, after all, Ms. Hovi's evidence, whatever
    12        was in the letter, was not the reason given when she was
    13        dismissed.
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  Except I do not think I have a copy of it.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest, so far as that is concerned, you
    18        wait to see what is coming out of Mr. Rampton's
    19        cross-examination.  If you get more papers overnight and
    20        want to re-open your examination-in-chief on the basis of
    21        those having copied them for Mr. Rampton, the witness and
    22        for me, I will certainly consider that, just as
    23        I considered letting Mr. Rampton re-open
    24        examination-in-chief, do you remember, for instance, with
    25        Dr. Gomez Gonzales when he got further information?
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:  Can I ask, if Mr. Rampton starts tonight, if the
    28        document does turn up tomorrow morning, will it still be
    29        all right to talk to Ms. Hovi about them?
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have no objection.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  None at all, but I would like a copy of that
    34        letter.  I do not know how long Mr. Morris has had it, but
    35        I would want that before I come to cross-examine about the
    36        dismissal.  I would like that before we go away this
    37        afternoon.
    38
    39   MR. MORRIS:  We can do it straightaway.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Riley, could you make half a dozen
    42        copies?  Give two of the copies to Mrs. Brinley-Codd, one
    43        for Mr. Rampton and give the rest of the copies back to
    44        Mr. Morris.  I will see it as and when someone asks me to
    45        look at it.  If you do that now, Mr. Rampton and Mr. Morris
    46        can take copies away.
    47
    48                 Cross-examined by MR. RAMPTON, Q.C.
    49
    50   Q.   Is it Mrs. Hovi? 
    51        A.  It is, yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Are there some little Hovi's?
    54        A.  Yes, there are two of them.  They are Short's
    55        actually.  My husband's name is "Short".
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How do you like to be addressed?
    58        A.  Mrs. Hovi is just fine.
    59
    60   MR. RAMPTON:  Your husband is English and not Finnish?
