Day 204 - 15 Jan 96 - Page 23


     
     1        right to probe into what passes between a witness and the
     2        solicitor in preparation of the evidence.  I do not know
     3        what is meant by "indemnity" anyway.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Put the whole of your question and
     6        then  -----
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:   Did you ask for indemnity that if you told the
     9        truth that there would be no come back on you from the
    10        Company and that they had refused to give you that
    11        indemnity?
    12        A.  Nobody from the Company has approached me, to be
    13        honest.
    14
    15   Q.   When you were speaking to the solicitors, did you ask for
    16        that indemnity?
    17        A.  No.
    18
    19   Q.   You did not?
    20        A.  No, I do not think so.
    21
    22   Q.   Are you being honest about that?
    23        A.  I certainly am, yes.
    24
    25   Q.   Have you said to anyone that you asked for indemnity?
    26        A.  No.
    27
    28   Q.   That McDonald's refused or McDonald's solicitors refused to
    29        give you one?
    30        A.  No.
    31
    32   Q.   The reality is, is it not, that all these practices that
    33        Mr. Coton outlined in his evidence, that Mr. Gibney gave
    34        evidence about and that other witnesses have referred to in
    35        their statements, they all went on, did they not?
    36        A.  Not of my knowledge, no.
    37
    38   MR. MORRIS:  You said that you did not remember working past
    39        five past midnight -----
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why are we going over that again?  Are you
    42        hoping to get a different answer to what Ms. Steel got?
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  No, I am just going to put a question.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Put the question, but try not to cover the
    47        same ground which Ms. Steel has covered if she goes first,
    48        just as she tries not to cover the same ground when you
    49        have a go.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  You said that you do not remember working 
    52        past 12.05; you said that you did not see food watering 
    53        down under Mark Davis; you said you would not want to say
    54        anything that you did not know from your own personal
    55        experience, yes, and that you want to give honest answers.
    56        If other people have come to court and said that these
    57        practices were going on, could they have been going on at
    58        times when you did not see, or things happen that you now
    59        do not remember?
