     1        read, the letter that goes with it.

     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  For the time being, shall I put that in
     4        yellow VIII, section B, behind Mr. Clark?
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, yes.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Anything else for the time being,
     9        Mr. Rampton?
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  No more admin, my Lord.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Right.  You have to decide where you want to
    14        go next.  Since so many topics have been touched on, I have
    15        made out a list for my own purposes.  Some of them have
    16        been dealt with, but I got to No. 27 of the topics which
    17        have been raised which might justify a decision from me.
    18        Mr. Rampton has spoken on some of them but by no means
    19        all.  In other words, he has not yet replied to you.
    20
    21        The question is whether you want to go on now or whether
    22        you want to call it a day, go away.  If the latter and if
    23        in any event you are not going to finish all you want to
    24        say, even if you do decide to go on now, we have to think
    25        about when we are going to come back to the matters.
    26
    27   MR. MORRIS:  To be honest, I am finding it is becoming
    28        unmanageable, the amount of outstanding matters, and the
    29        way they are being taken over a long period, and also some
    30        have not been replied to, some the Plaintiffs have
    31        indicated, for example, on documents they are looking into
    32        it but an order has not been made.  I think on the subject
    33        of documents it is very helpful if an order is made because
    34        then we all know where we stand and either these documents
    35        are given or they are not given with reason.  Because I do
    36        not know, for example, from seeing that Plaintiffs' list
    37        they have just handed, to me obviously it does not
    38        represent all the documents that they have indicated they
    39        are looking for.  I am not satisfied with some of the
    40        points in it anyway.  But it is like having to
    41        cross-reference that with the previous application and the
    42        application before that.  It is just getting
    43        administratively unmanageable in terms of just knowing what
    44        is actually on the boil and what is a subject of an order
    45        what is waiting for on order.  So, I think it would be
    46        helpful if on the matters which you have not ruled upon yet
    47         -- my memory is from Monday there were quite a few matters

    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have not even heard Mr. Rampton's reply to 
    51        them yet. 
    52 
    53   MR. MORRIS:  On the documents I believe he replied to every
    54        application.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I have eight categories on which I am due to
    57        reply.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have also got some open ends, in case you
    60        want to say more, for instance, if we go straight back to
