Day 168 - 03 Oct 95 - Page 24
1 allegation a long time ago. I do not know which rap
2 session you are particularly referring to but ......
3
4 Q. Is it true you have had written warnings from the Company?
5 A. I had a verbal warning from the Company when I was a
6 Floor Manager in 1990 when I was a assaulted by a crew
7 member.
8
9 Q. You have had warnings since, have you not?
10 A. Regarding what?
11
12 Q. Have you had verbal warnings since 1990 from the Company?
13 A. I do not think so. I had a caution when there was a
14 problem with the security of some stock in the store, and
15 all the Managers that were involved in the store at that
16 time were given a caution.
17
18 Q. You did not receive any verbal warning over an incident
19 where you threw boxes around the stock room and had a fight
20 with the Supervisor?
21 A. No, I did not, no.
22
23 Q. But that did happen though?
24 A. No, it did not, no. I have no recollection of this
25 event whatsoever. The Supervisor involved was either Paul
26 Pearson or Ken Tompkins because they are the only two
27 Supervisors I have worked under. I certainly never had a
28 fight with either of them.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: When you say "the Supervisor involved was",
31 was, involved with what?
32 A. Well, if in whatever he -- I have not been involved in
33 any incident where I have ever punched a direct superior or
34 anything similar to what I am being accused of, I believe.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: So the throwing of boxes around part of it, that
37 did occur, did it?
38 A. No. I do not understand what you are doing -----
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Please do not put "so" at the beginning of
41 questions because it sounds as if what you are going to put
42 logically follows from the answers you have received so
43 far.
44
45 MR. MORRIS: Rap sessions are -----
46
47 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, are we passing away now from fantasy
48 fights and matters of that kind because, if we are, there
49 is something I would wish to say. Your Lordship will, of
50 course, have noticed that none of that is in Mr. Logan's
51 statement. I did not intervene because I had assumed from
52 that that this line of cross-examination which we appear to
53 have just finished went only to credit. That being so,
54 what the Defendants must understand (and I say this now to
55 your Lordship that they should understand) is they are
56 bound by Mr. Richards' answers and they cannot ask
57 Mr. Logan any questions about it.
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
