Day 073 - 13 Jan 95 - Page 56


     
     1        through the whole week with a weekend at both ends,
     2        possibly Friday 17th as well 20th to 24th February, I for
     3        my part will be perhaps unappealingly resistant to any
     4        further request for additional time, let us say, around
     5        Easter or anything like that.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us see.  Mr. Wignall is your other
     8        concern?
     9
    10   MR. RAMPTON:  Wignall and Jarret are the two other witnesses.
    11        That is what Mrs. Brinley-Codd says, and I respectfully say
    12        it is right.  Chambers and Wignall in an order to be
    13        arranged according to their convenience in the week
    14        beginning the 6th and then Jarret following -- sorry,
    15        Jarret and Chambers in the week beginning the 6th followed
    16        by Wignall in the next week, whether at the beginning or
    17        not.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  When you say "Jarret", is that the name of the
    20        person or just someone from Jarret?
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  I cannot possibly say yet because we have not got
    23        a witness yet.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is a Jarret person.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  It might be two people, I do not know.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If we can just go through then, Siddique
    30        Ashworth and McIntyre next week.  You have to do your best
    31        and it is in your own interests to get them completed by
    32        the close of play on Wednesday 18th because I want to start
    33        Mr. Walker on Wednesday 25th.  If we finish them by close
    34        of play on Wednesday 18th, you have six days off which you
    35        want to take part of the weekend for refreshment before we
    36        start again.
    37
    38        If we finish Mr. McIntyre during the day on Wednesday 18th,
    39        we will adjourn then until Wednesday 25th, but if he runs
    40        into Thursday we will start anyway on Wednesday 25th with
    41        Mr. Walker.  We will hope then to start with Mr. Jackson on
    42        the morning of Monday 30th, so if Mr. Walker takes the two
    43        days you will get Friday free.  We will go on with
    44        Mr. Kenny on Monday 6th; Mr. Bowes on Monday 13th.  This is
    45        the proposal, subject to anything untoward happening, and
    46        Mr. Pattison on Wednesday 15th.
    47
    48        If we finish Mr. Pattison by close of play on Friday, you
    49        have the whole of your half-term week away from court.  So,
    50        you see, I am not unsympathetic; I am only human and I do 
    51        not like being told what to do with court time. 
    52 
    53   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, I apologise for that; it was just
    54        Mr. Rampton -----
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What you must in your own interests do is try
    57        to make some provisional arrangement for the very beginning
    58        of the week, the half-term week, because if Mr. Pattison
    59        did not finish on Friday and was available on Monday, it is
    60        only common sense we go into the Monday to finish him
