     1        the Plaintiffs are going to finish putting their case on
     2        this, we can start sorting out our witnesses.  I understood
     3        there were more from Jarrets and other places.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me make sure you have what I have.  Next
     6        Tuesday, 7th, we go to Mr. Atherton who is instead of
     7        Mr. Wignall.  On Monday 13th, we have Mr. Bowes and on
     8        Wednesday 15th we have Mr. Pattison.  If there is any
     9        possibility of finishing Mr. Atherton before the end of his
    10        week and starting Mr. Bowes before the Monday, and there
    11        may not for entirely practical reasons, I think the parties
    12        ought to consider that because that may take pressure off
    13        the end of the week ending on Friday 17th.  That is how
    14        things are planned at the moment.
    15
    16        We then have the half-term week, Monday 20th to Friday
    17        24th, as preparation time, subject to the rider that if
    18        Mr. Pattison overran I would want to finish him at the
    19        beginning of that week, if he is available, rather than
    20        having him to go off to some future date.  Hopefully, the
    21        worst that would mean is the Monday.  I have been allocated
    22        to go as judge representative to a conference on the
    23        Tuesday.  I only heard that yesterday evening, so I could
    24        not sit on that day.  We do not want to run into that week
    25        at all if we can avoid it.
    26
    27        Monday 27th March is Mr. Gomez Gonzales and the whole week
    28        has been allowed for him.  Mr. Chambers, I think he is Sun
    29        Valley.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord, he is Midland Meat Packers.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Midland Meat Packers, thank you.
    34        Mr. Pattison is Sun Valley.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, my Lord.  He is a vet.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Chambers is down for Monday 6th and
    39        Tuesday 7th.  Wednesday 8th, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th
    40        are for such Jarret witnesses as McDonald's may choose to
    41        call.  That is what I have written at the moment.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, that is, roughly speaking, right.
    44        Anyway, it is the last part of that week that it is our
    45        intention, if we do, to call a Jarret witness or witnesses.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Monday 13th was Mr. Wignall but is now
    48        Mr. Kenny instead of next week.  That is as far as I have
    49        written in my schedule as a result of he discussion we had
    50        a few days ago. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  Which, in answer to Ms. Steel's earlier enquiry, 
    53        is where the Plaintiffs' witnesses end and the Defendants'
    54        obligation to start calling evidence begins.  Therefore,
    55        I repeat my request that we be told who they are going to
    56        be.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:  The reason I made that comment was, as I understood
    59        it, Chambers and Jarrets had not been confirmed and the
    60        Plaintiffs were still deciding whether they were going to
