Day 161 - 24 Jul 95 - Page 54


     
     1        thought you might be when we spoke at two o'clock about
     2        timing?
     3
     4   MR. MORRIS:  Let me have a look.  We are certainly aiming for
     5        lunchtime tomorrow, to finish by then.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Please sit down, Miss Anteneh.  Are
     8        there any other matters?  Some time during the day, I will
     9        give my ruling on your application for leave to amend with
    10        regard to Brazilian beef.  What (if any) other matters are
    11        there which we must discuss tomorrow?
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  Only this, my Lord, that we would like some
    14        guidance from your Lordship how your Lordship would like to
    15        start next term; what with, is what I mean; if witnesses,
    16        what kind of witnesses.  If not witnesses, then there are
    17        some outstanding interlocutory things which the Defendants
    18        have to deal with.  Presumably, we will be ready for them
    19        at the beginning of next term.  It might be advisable to
    20        spend the first two days of next term with interlocutories.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what appeals to me most at the
    23        moment, unless there is some witness who can only be
    24        accommodated, for instance, on the 25th or 26th September,
    25        because by then it may be that Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris
    26        will be ready to make such applications as they wish to
    27        make; and, that said, the sooner they are made the better.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  We would agree with that.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will discuss that tomorrow and perhaps get
    32        some idea of how much time will be involved.
    33
    34        What I suggest then -- because that should not take very
    35        long -- we will break off now.  For practical reasons --
    36        not just, but including that I would like to have my ruling
    37        in word processed form to give to you tomorrow -- what
    38        I propose to do is sit at 11 o'clock tomorrow, which should
    39        still give us time to finish Miss Anteneh, for me to give
    40        the ruling and to discuss any other loose ends.  So
    41        whatever appears in the printed list, it will be 11 o'clock
    42        in the morning.
