Day 313 - 13 Dec 96 - Page 60


     
     1        into court if Mr. Rampton asks me to, and I suggest it be
     2        at 10.30 on the Thursday morning, rather than the Friday
     3        where you, Mr. Morris, are in difficulty anyway, and I will
     4        come back just to hear anything Mr. Rampton wants to say on
     5        that.
     6
     7        I am not encouraging a request for me to return to court
     8        because I think it is probably completely unnecessary, but
     9        I can just put your further submissions with my papers and
    10        read them in due course.
    11
    12        In case, therefore, we do not need to return to court,
    13        I will say now that I propose to reserve my judgment! It
    14        will take me some time to write it.  I do not mean to be
    15        difficult when I say I do not know when I will deliver it
    16        because I do not know when I will deliver it.  Mr. Glen has
    17        told me that he has seen reports in some newspapers that it
    18        is anticipated this month or early next year.  All I can
    19        say is that that is not so.  It will not be at the
    20        beginning of next year, or early next year.  It will take
    21        me longer than that.  But I propose to say no more because
    22        at this stage I think it no more useful information on when
    23        it will be.  Mr. Glen will communicate with all the parties
    24        when I know when I will be able to give judgment and we
    25        will arrange a date to return to court which is convenient
    26        to all the parties.  Thank you.

    28        (The court adjourned until a convenient date for judgment
    29        to be handed down)
