     1        the 25th and 26th.

     3   MR. RAMPTON:  The only thing I would add, while your Lordship is
     4        on Bath, as it were, is, as your Lordship knows, we
     5        prepared some tables and sent them to everybody.  I do not
     6        call it service, because it is not an official document of
     7        any kind.  If and in so far as the Defendants are able to
     8        say that they agree the figures, such as the figures are --
     9        and it clearly stated that the figures are designed to
    10        represent -- it would be an enormous help if we were told
    11        or if they did that because, obviously, if those figures
    12        and those tables were agreed, it will save an enormous
    13        amount of time in court hacking through the actual
    14        documents.  We are not saying they should say now; I am
    15        just saying that, in advance, if they accept those are
    16        accurate.
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is that you get yourself --
    19        you have got tomorrow and Friday, apart from any time at
    20        the weekend.  I appreciate you may well want to do some
    21        work on Bath and other matters, but what I suggest is, you
    22        get yourself prepared for Brazil, so that if we have an
    23        early afternoon in the first two or three days of next week
    24        you can just stand up and produce your argument with regard
    25        to Brazil interrogatories.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, anyway, next Friday, the 26th, is a very
    28        likely candidate for interrogatories, because I doubt
    29        whether Mr. Logan will last two whole days.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest, Mr. Morris, is that you get
    32        ready with your preparation and any paperwork you need to
    33        put before me, so that at a moment's notice on any
    34        afternoon next week, if we find we have time, you can press
    35        your application.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, will do.  We will come back to the schedule a
    38        bit.  Shall we try and do it in the order of the list?
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just tell me the topic on your list you want
    41        to do next.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  It is probably best to go through it.  The next one
    44        is Ryan and Lynval; just that, really, we are able to read
    45        those out as Civil Evidence Act notices at any stage as a
    46        gap filler.  That is all we have to say on that, really.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So, there has been no counternotice in
    49        respect of that?
    50 
    51   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord.  Mr. Ryan is in America; we have 
    52        established that.  Mr. Lynval, we cannot find, so we cannot 
    53        sensibly serve notice.  So far as Lynval's statement is
    54        concerned, there are two passages whose reading out I would
    55        object to in due course, but I will not make that objection
    56        now unless anybody wants me to.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us see how we go the rest of this
    59        afternoon.  Yes.
