Day 258 - 07 Jun 96 - Page 64


     
     1   Q.   Is basically the reason you did not check because you know
     2        that the fact sheets that we are being sued over were not
     3        handed out on that day so the video would show that?
     4        A.  No, and they were handed out because I took one.
     5
     6   Q.   You say you took one which cannot be identified and, well,
     7        it has now since disappeared.

     9   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I wonder if I could make a suggestion?
    10        Things seem to have slowed to a pace, as it were.  I do
    11        want to have the Defendants' bullet points on publication
    12        before the weekend, because my witnesses are coming next
    13        week.  I wonder if your Lordship would consider perhaps
    14        rising in just a minute to give Ms. Steel time to write
    15        down anything she says, neatly, what those points are,
    16        before we all disperse for the weekend?
    17
    18   MS. STEEL:   We have reached a bit of a break, and actually
    19        there was just a couple of things I wanted to raise about
    20        some of the inquiry agents' notes.  I do not know
    21        whether...
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  That will be your evidence for this
    24        afternoon, Mr. Nicholson.
    25        A.  Thank you, my Lord.
    26
    27                       (The witness withdrew).
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  I have to find the papers for this.  The first thing
    30        is based on the statement, which is actually the statement
    31        of Mr. Pocklington.  I think it is his second statement.
    32        In paragraph 7 he did not say the date of the meeting.
    33        I have got a note that we were told by Barlow Lyde &
    34        Gilbert that it was 23rd November, but it appears that the
    35        next paragraph was about 23rd.  So it seems like it is
    36        unlikely that that paragraph is supposed to be about 23rd.
    37        So, if that can be checked and if we could be notified as
    38        to what date that meeting is?
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Which meeting are you referring to?
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   In paragraph 7 of the second statement.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Second statement?
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  It says 'the supplementary statement'.  Second page
    47        at the bottom of the page.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:   The second point is that in the third statement of 
    52        Mr. Pocklington, in paragraph 16, he refers to the meeting 
    53        on 22nd March 1990 and we have not been given the notes for
    54        that meeting.  So, if they could be served as soon as
    55        possible.  It is on page 5 of the third statement, second
    56        supplementary statement.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Paragraph 16.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:   22nd March 1990.  We were served a whole load of
