Day 177 - 26 Oct 95 - Page 60


     
     1        Caseview matter, if you were prepared to do that.
     2
     3   MR. RAMPTON:  We are certainly prepared to do that.  Equally, my
     4        Lord, if your Lordship said, "We are going to lose 35
     5        minutes -- 40 minutes, sorry -- of court time, but we do
     6        not want this argument to go wrong, we do not want the
     7        Defendants" -- it is an important argument ----
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is extremely important.
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  We do not want the Defendants to get it wrong and
    12        have an unnecessary trip to the Court of Appeal and all
    13        that kind of stuff, your Lordship might say, "Let us stop
    14        now", we will get a transcript of today's, my submissions
    15        today, to the Defendants this evening when it emerges from
    16        the printer and they can start tomorrow morning.
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    19
    20   MR. RAMPTON:  It may not get there tonight.  That is the
    21        trouble.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what I am talking about.  What we
    24        will do is I will come back at quarter to four.  What
    25        I know can be done from past experience is that my -- what
    26        I do not know is whether Mr. Dudley can do it; Mr. Styles
    27        certainly could and, at one time, I could do it -- is just
    28        take the lap top which I have.  What is there is
    29        transferred on to a floppy disk which is put into my own
    30        lap top computer and printed out either on my own printer
    31        or my clerk's printer and that only ever used to take a few
    32        minutes.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  For the whole day?
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I did not do it for the whole day
    37        because what happened was I highlighted parts and printed
    38        those out at the time when I was doing it for my own
    39        purposes; but the whole lot can be done.
    40
    41   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, it can.  We can easily have that done in
    42        chambers or at Barlow's offices.  There is no problem about
    43        that.  It is not always as easy to read as the corrected
    44        transcript, of course.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does Mrs. Brinley-Codd know how to do it
    47        herself?
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I do not think so.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Or Mr. Atkinson? 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  I doubt it.
    54
    55   MS. STEEL:  I do not know whether it is any help but I think the
    56        morning's transcript is corrected during the afternoon.
    57        So, in theory, that might actually be nearly ready.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You should have this afternoon's as well.
