Day 168 - 03 Oct 95 - Page 60


     
     1        Mr. Richards before 12 o'clock, there will be no criticism
     2        from me if we have to wait until 12.00.  If you can finish
     3        so that we can start her, then so much the better because
     4        it gives us a better prospect of getting through this
     5        week's schedule by Friday afternoon rather than running
     6        into the beginning of next week.
     7
     8        Some time, either tomorrow or Thursday morning, I would
     9        like you to tell me just how you planned the second half of
    10        next week and whether your French witnesses are coming then
    11        or what.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  That I am going to do.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  It is their French witnesses.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Sorry, your French witnesses.
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  Theirs are not until November.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is right.  It is a complete slip on my
    22        part.
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  It is mine.  I will be in a position to tell your
    25        Lordship that, certainly tomorrow or the next day.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:  We were actually promised the statements at the
    28        beginning of this week.
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, you will just have to be patient.
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:   That is all very well but Mr. Rampton was
    33        complaining about not -----
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What were the times I said about that?
    36        I gave some indication of time when they should be -----
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  Your Lordship did; I said I hoped to be able to
    39        serve them this week, I think I may -----
    40
    41   MS. STEEL:  Early at the beginning of this week.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  Please.  I think I said the early part of this
    44        week.  If I have them ready tomorrow, then I will serve
    45        them, but I will certainly say something to your Lordship
    46        about it tomorrow.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, if they can be served tomorrow, I think
    49        it is important that they are, because I do not want any
    50        argument about the Defendants not being prepared or not 
    51        having an opportunity this week to mention any problem 
    52        which arises from them, 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, there should not be a problem, given that
    55        I readily agreed that the Defendants' French witnesses
    56        should not be giving evidence until 13th November which is
    57         -----
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I do not want to do is to lose any of
    60        Wednesday or Thursday or Friday on the French witnesses
