Day 105 - 16 Mar 95 - Page 17
1 young children and very old people, the symptoms,
2 I understand from the doctors, can be much more serious.

4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us have our five-minute break there.
5
6 I would like you to consider, Mr. Morris, the extent to
7 which very broad questions are really going to help with
8 Mr. Bennett. The reason I say that is that this is not one
9 of those areas where you do not particularly have a witness
10 of your own, so you are searching with a McDonald's witness
11 for information which you think might be there.
12
13 You are going to call Ms. Hovi and you have material which
14 you are expecting to come out there, hard material, you
15 anticipate, which she could deal with.

17 MR. MORRIS: If it is any help we certainly -----

19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Whatever conclusion I draw on the evidence as
20 to what happens at Jarretts, having heard both Mr. Bennett
21 and Ms. Hovi, at the end of the day, it is only common
22 sense is going to likely affect me more than

25 will have our five-minute break now and you can find the
26 document you want.
27
28 MR. MORRIS: We are not expecting this questioning to continue

31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I was not particularly turning my mind to
32 that, just what at the end of the day is likely to be more

37 MR. MORRIS: You said you held a basic hygiene course for the
38 management that they asked for?
39 A. That is true.
40
41 Q. I cannot remember exactly when that was. When was that
42 exactly, during the HACCP introduction?
43 A. No, that followed that. The HACCP came first and, if
44 memory serves, it was October 1994.
45
46 Q. How long was the course?
47 A. Six hours.
48
49 Q. Six hours?
50 A. Well, the total introduction, lecture, exam, then the
51 marking up, that totals six hours.
52
53 Q. They passed the exam and they got some kind of -----
54 A. Yes, they were rewarded with a Basic Food Hygiene
55 Certificate of the Environmental Health Officers'
56 Association.
57
58 Q. I am trying to go through what you said in-chief and your
59 statement. It is in a different order and the documents
60 are in a different order still, so it is a bit difficult to
