1 them.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you know when they were taken?
4
5 MS. STEEL: No, it says where they were taken but it does not
6 say when.
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just show them to Mr. Rampton.
9
10 MR. MORRIS: I would just like to say that in terms of slightly
11 related to the last point, that Mr. Siddique brought up a
12 lot of evidence about the other stores that he had been
13 manager of which were not in his statement. But we are not
14 making a complaint about that because that is useful
15 evidence, whether we agree or disagree, but it is not just
16 when you have solicitors that you do everything that you
17 should do either.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest you do is that -- in fact, you
20 could ask ----
21
22 MS. STEEL: If it is any help, I have photocopies of the
23 photographs.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, for the time being, I suggest you ask
26 Mr. Siddique to look at those and ask him whether he has
27 ever seen a situation like that during his managership in
28 Smith Street.
29
30 MS. STEEL (To the witness): Have you ever seen that kind of
31 situation in Smith Street?
32 A. No.
33
34 Q. During the time -- you have not?
35 A. No.
36
37 Q. How do you personally know whether environment/index.html">litter patrols took
38 place?
39 A. As I said before, that if I am the shift manager, then
40 I will go and perform exactly like a shift manager will
41 do. The other thing is that if I am not a shift manager
42 but I am present in the restaurant, then I will check on my
43 shift managers or dining area host or hostess. I will just
44 do spot checks or, otherwise, when I come to work or when
45 I go home.
46
47 Q. So, other than the four observations you make when you walk
48 around the route, perhaps, four per shift, maybe only two
49 -- you said between two and four?
50 A. Yes, it depends.
51
52 Q. You are relying on the word of the dining area hostess or
53 host that these environment/index.html">litter patrols are taking place?
54 A. No. If I am present at that time, then the shift
55 manager, the person who leave will report that such and
56 such a person is leaving in case of fire. That is a safety
57 precaution. If there is a fire and you know somebody has
58 gone for environment/index.html">litter patrol, so you know the person has gone
59 out.
