Day 171 - 11 Oct 95 - Page 44
1 note. What I have in mind at the moment, and then if I
2 have misunderstood the extent of what Mr. Rampton was
3 prepared to accept he can address me again, is the clock
4 card sheets for the 9th and 10th November but also the
5 weekly schedule for the week which includes the 9th
6 November but not the other associated documents. Do you
7 want to say anything more about that, Mr. Morris?
8
9 MR. RAMPTON: I just want to correct something Mr. Morris said.
10
11 MR. MORRIS: I do not.
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: He can respond if I am wrong.
14
15 MR. MORRIS: If Mr. Rampton would come back on that.
16
17 MR. RAMPTON: Mr. Morris may have something to add.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I will hear Mr. Rampton first and then
20 anything you may want to say.
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: Can I say, although I do not object to disclosing
23 the schedule for that week, in fact Mr. Morris is
24 completely wrong in saying that it is the scheduling that
25 is the issue. What Mr. Logan, in fact, says in the first
26 paragraph of his document which he gave to the Department
27 of Employment was this: "I finally resigned my position on
28 the 9th November when I came in to run the night shift and
29 found I had once again been scheduled with a completely
30 inadequate number of staff to run the shift safely."
31
32 He then says -- this is lower down the page -- "On the 9th
33 November there were three employees scheduled for my shift,
34 forcing me to cook and serve in order to keep up with the
35 volume of business." So what actually matters is who was
36 in the restaurant when, as he said, he came in to run the
37 night shift and how many people there were there while he
38 was actually doing it himself, cooking and serving.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: He does not say he was cooking and serving. He was
41 saying that he came in to do that and he resigned.
42
43 MR. JUSTICE BELL: At the moment I am minded to give the
44 schedule because it is precious little more paper and, for
45 all I know, when I hear Mr. Logan give evidence, somewhere
46 in the area of dispute between him and Mr. Richards about
47 the 9th November there may be a common thread which would
48 make it interesting to look at how it was scheduled. That
49 is all.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So that is the argument in relation to
54 discovery. You are going to call Mr. Pattinson tomorrow,
55 are you, Mr. Morris?
56
57 MR. MORRIS: Yes. I basically tied to find someone who would
58 not be contentious so that Ms. Steel would feel happy for
59 me to do it, and Terry Pattinson seemed to be the only
60 candidate. He was, happily, willing to come in at very
