Day 270 - 28 Jun 96 - Page 48


     
     1        Wednesday, Thursday and Friday anyway.

     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does it matter?
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  I hear what Ms. Steel says.  Naturally, I am
     6        sympathetic because I know the administrative difficulties
     7        the Defendants have, but if Monday is his only day then I
     8        am going to have to -----
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think you will have to be prepared to fill
    11        it out, just that which you need.  I would have thought all
    12        you needed was Mr. Bishop's witness statements.  You
    13        probably do not need those actually, but bring Mr. Bishop's
    14        witness statements; bring the copy of his notes for the
    15        particular day and the copies of the notes which have since
    16        been disclosed of that as well.
    17
    18   MS. STEEL:  Yes, okay.  I will probably have to bring more than
    19        that, but can I just say ----
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The only basis upon which I am saying
    22        Mr. Bishop should come back at all is that one point you
    23        told me about.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:  Yes, I know, but it is just that if something else
    26        comes in in re-examination and I have not got my notes to
    27        deal with it -----
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not think it will.  I cannot imagine
    30        that Mr. Rampton has any re-examination.  He just does not
    31        feel able to make an admission in that respect, that is
    32        all.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  On the main questions of Mr. Bishop I have done my
    35        re-examination, I cannot go back to that.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It will all just depend upon what Mr. Bishop
    38        says.  If he says, "Yes, looking at that, it may well be
    39        that they were the other leaflets you are batting for",
    40        that will be the end of it.  Even if he says "No, I still
    41        think it was McDonald's leaflets", you will put the
    42        argument to me.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  That will be the only question that will be
    45        allowed, effectively.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have nothing else in mind, have you,
    48        Mr. Rampton?
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord.  I have finished with Mr. Bishop. 
    51        The Defendants have, I understand, got your Lordship's 
    52        indication that he should come back to answer a question, 
    53        or two questions maybe, on that issue and that issue alone.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you restrict your cross-examination to
    56        that point, then Mr. Rampton is not going to ask any
    57        questions of Mr. Bishop.
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:  Yes.  Can I just say something about
    60        Mr. Pocklington?
