Day 156 - 17 Jul 95 - Page 22


     
     1        I have to rely on the evidence because any kind of view --
     2        I mean, I may be able to see something of what is going on,
     3        but I really have to rely on the evidence there because any
     4        kind of arranged inspection may or may not give a typical
     5        view.  Do you have any reservation about me going in at
     6        all, if I choose to?
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:   We do not mind.
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  Whatever you want to is fine by us.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The other view was the question of the environment/index.html">litter
    13        patrol at the Kings Road.  It is extremely easy for me just
    14        to walk round, of course I will not be picking up stuff,
    15        but what I would like both sides to do, and there is a long
    16        time in which it can be done, is each side put down a route
    17        or for that matter as many routes as they wish, i.e. start
    18        at front door, turn right and then all my right and left
    19        turns and the roads I am in, and I will saunter around and
    20        see how long it takes me, unless there is any objection.
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I am very happy with that too.  I think we had
    23        a map once while Mr. Stein was giving evidence.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  If it can be just written down where
    26        I am to go.  What I propose to do is just stroll round, by
    27        which I mean walking but walking at a casual pace rather
    28        than a brisk pace, each of the routes.  I will time myself
    29        and I will come back into court and say, "This is what it
    30        took me", and then the parties can argue to me whether if
    31        you had been picking up something it would probably have
    32        taken you such and such a time and where we go from there.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  It rather looks as if I am going to have to do the
    35        same thing.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is as may be.  Again, I would much
    38        rather do that on my own.  I can do it without any
    39        significant personal inconvenience.
    40
    41   MS. STEEL:  You want that before the end of the term, yes?
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  It can come at any time.  If it came
    44        before the end of term I could do it on a day during the
    45        vacation, but I can equally stop off on one of my cycling
    46        days and do it then, so it is no inconvenience.
    47
    48        We will resume with the interlocutory applications at 10.30
    49        tomorrow morning.
    50 
    51             (The court adjourned until the following day).
