Day 030 - 03 Oct 94 - Page 64


     
     1        examination-in-chief, Mr. Rampton will want to ask some
     2        questions in cross-examination.  He may need to do so, I
     3        do not know, before he takes further instructions to try
     4        to feel out the exact extent of any issue, I do not know.
     5
     6        What I will do, I will come back at a quarter to 4.  I
     7        would like you to go ahead and finish your
     8        examination-in-chief then.  I will not stop you if at some
     9        stage in the future you say there is something you should
    10        have asked Mr. Cannon which you have not.  I would like
    11        Mr. Rampton, if he would be so kind, to think about
    12        whether he would like to start cross-examination this
    13        afternoon, what documents he thinks he should have,
    14        including books in their entirety which he has not got, so
    15        that we can decide how that is going to be solved and,
    16        Mr. Rampton, how long you think it will be before you feel
    17        able to continue your cross-examination because then we
    18        can see how Mr. Cannon is placed..

    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  We do not have any further questions today but
    23        just in case, because of the confusion, we want to come
    24        back on three or four things ----
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  What do you want to do now,
    27        Mr. Rampton?
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I would like to start cross-examining
    30        Mr. Cannon.  I doubt that I will finish because for one
    31        principal reason I do not have the complete versions of
    32        many of the documents to which he has referred.  I shall
    33        certainly wish to see those and review them with my
    34        experts.   It may be that I shall say that I do not need
    35        to ask any more questions in due course, but I cannot
    36        commit myself to that.  I can, I hope, not waste
    37        everybody's time by asking a few questions this afternoon,
    38        if that is all right, which is what I would like to do.
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:   Can I just say something?  I am in difficulties if
    41        we carry on beyond half past four.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think I would not do that in any event.
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  I was not proposing to go a long time.  I will go
    46        on until the court rises.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I was aiming to rise at a quarter past 4, 20
    49        past four.  Let us stick to that.  If there is anything
    50        you want to raise with me before we adjourn, we ought to 
    51        start talking about it by 10 past 4. 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  It would only be the extent to which by one route
    54        or another I could be provided with complete versions of
    55        various documents to which Mr. Cannon has made reference.
    56
    57                       Cross-Examined by Mr. Rampton
    58
    59   Q.   Can I ask a little bit more, please, about your
    60        professional role in relation to, is it called the World
