     1
     2   MR. RAMPTON:  Her intrusion into Sun Valley.  I want to be able
     3        to do that, because my understanding is that when he or she
     4         -- I do not know which it was -- had a look, they decided
     5        that what Vicky Watkins had said or shown did not found any
     6        kind of a complaint against any regulations or laws of this
     7        country.  But until I can find the inspector who went and
     8        inspected the place which Vicky Watkins filmed, I cannot do
     9        very much about it.  It does not mean that Vicky Watkins
    10        cannot be called, except that I would like to reserve my
    11        position about the inspector.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is you arrange for Vicky
    14        Watkins to come on Friday morning, but make sure you have
    15        some way of communicating with her.  Tell her she is
    16        expected to be here by 10.30 on Friday morning, but you
    17        will ring her tomorrow afternoon if there is any change.
    18
    19   MS. STEEL:  If Mr. Coton is not finished or something?
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:  She has to come quite a long way actually from
    24        Wales.  I presume she can get here for 10.30 OK but .....
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Make arrangements for you to be able to ring
    27        her sometime during the mid-day adjournment tomorrow.
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  Tomorrow?
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  If I were you, get in touch with her
    32        tonight and say that you want her to come on Friday
    33        morning, but if there is any change you will get in touch
    34        with her tomorrow lunch time.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:   OK.  Can I just say, as far as evidence-in-chief
    37        goes, the video lasts something like 10 minutes at the most
    38        and her statement is extremely brief.  I do not think she
    39        will be longer than half an hour or three quarters of an
    40        hour.  If it does not matter too much, then because she has
    41        got to come a long way it might be easier if we start
    42        slightly later.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us see how we are going tomorrow.  What
    45        I would like you to do is make a list for me which you can
    46        probably do very quickly overnight of statements you might
    47        read on Friday.  The other thing you can do which would be
    48        helpful to me, because we are getting well through the
    49        evidence on employment now, is be able to go through the
    50        list and tell me what the final situation is as to who is 
    51        to be called, who is to be read, and which evidence one way 
    52        or another may have fallen by the wayside, because I made a 
    53        list of stores which are mentioned in the statements in the
    54        United Kingdom and it came to about 30 altogether.  If
    55        I can forget some of those because evidence is not going to
    56        be called one way or another -- it will not be held against
    57        you that they have fallen by the wayside -- I would like to
    58        be able to cross them off my list and know that I need not
    59        bother about them any longer.  So we can do that sort of
    60        thing on Friday as well.
