Day 147 - 04 Jul 95 - Page 38
1 schedule for that time.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What seems fair to me is that Mr. Rampton,
4 when he gets to the end of the witnesses he positively
5 wants to call, can say: "That is all I call", subject to
6 finding, for instance, that people who have not so far been
7 listed as live witnesses do come or that Miss Ingliss is
8 going to come or the two French witnesses are actually
9 going to come.
10
11 I cannot see anything unfair about that, because she is
12 Canada and they are France; and they could be taken as
13 separate little compartments within the evidence itself.
14 You might then say to me then: "Well, look, we have
15 actually sent M. Lamti his fare. We have arranged for him
16 to come on 11th October. We would, therefore like" -- you
17 would have to give some warning -- "McDonald's to call any
18 French witness they are going to call before we call him",
19 and I would think about that.
20
21 This is not something I am being asked to give a ruling or
22 direction on, but just an indication of what might happen.
23
24 MR. MORRIS: We will try to get a schedule prepared over the
25 summer for our employment witnesses as efficiently as we
26 can, and that schedule will contain the ones that are Civil
27 Evidence Act Notices that we are able to call.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I would like you to do is put against
30 each one "call", and if it is someone who is obviously
31 resident abroad, put next to it, if you have actually done
32 it, "fare sent, arrangement made", or something of that
33 kind.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: Yes, we will try to do that. I do not think there
36 is any other matter on employment witnesses.
37
38 MS. STEEL: I was going to get one fairly short thing out of
39 the way. The Plaintiffs were -----
40
41 MR. MORRIS: Can I just interrupt a minute? Simon Givorney,
42 Michael Logan and Ian Whittle have all confirmed, as have
43 all the names on that list on the front page, that they
44 will be attending; and we are still attempting to contact
45 the outstanding ones.
46
47 MS. STEEL: On number 2 of the Plaintiffs' list of issues, the
48 application for the Defendants to provide supplementary
49 statements on publication, yesterday, Mr. Rampton referred
50 you to the transcript of Day 110 where I said that it was
51 not new that I was saying I had not handed out -- the
52 easiest thing is if I read it out, actually. I said:
53
54 "It is not what I am now saying. I have said this all
55 along. The fact is that the interrogatories were not
56 served until years after the demonstration. It is hard to
57 remember what you were doing on a particular day. I do
58 have good reasons for a firm belief I was not handing out
59 the leaflet. I do not particularly want to go further than
60 this, because I am not giving evidence at present, but it
