Day 172 - 12 Oct 95 - Page 58
1 MR. MORRIS: Right.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You can skim through it. I think it is
4 probably not a bad idea you have it between you, in case
5 you need to refer to it later on in the case. But when we
6 come back to your Civil Evidence Act witnesses, I will hear
7 what you want to say about the argument on Mr. Magill.
8
9 MR. MORRIS: Mr. McGee.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: McGee, sorry. If Mr. Riley would be kind
12 enough to make one copy of Chapter 21 of Phipson and then
13 give it to you.
14
15 Subject to my ruling on the discovery of the Bath
16 documents, is there anything more we can do this
17 afternoon? Are we going to go on Mr. Megan on Monday
18 morning?
19
20 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I propose to hand down my ruling on
23 Mr. Megan. There is only one matter where I varied from an
24 indication, the indication which I gave yesterday
25 afternoon, and that is in respect of copies of weekly time
26 sheets; and for reasons which I hope will be apparent from
27 my ruling, I have said that Mr. Morris should have the
28 option, when he has seen the weekly schedules, of asking
29 for weekly time sheets for one week only of his own choice
30 from August 1993 and August 1994; and I hope the reasons
31 for that will be apparent when the ruling is read. It will
32 mean an extra 14 to 16 pages of documentation on the basis
33 that Mr. Richards said that they were seven to eight pages
34 each.
35
36 MR. RAMPTON: Did he say they were seven to eight for a week?
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, he did -- one line per crew member.
39
40 MR. RAMPTON: I think the thing I have seen is probably
41 different. I do not know. Anyway, i will leave that.
42
43 MR. JUSTICE BELL: By all means, come back to me if there is
44 anything which anyone wants to say about that. But you
45 will gather my reasons from the ruling which has been
46 wordprocessed.
47
48 MR. MORRIS: When you said 14 to 16 pages, presumably, you mean
49 for a fortnight?
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: For a fortnight -- because my note of
52 Mr. Richards' evidence was that the weekly time sheets
53 covered seven to eight pages, one line per member of crew.
54
55 MR. RAMPTON: For a week.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: For that week, the weekly time sheets?
58
59 MR. MORRIS: For a fortnight.
