Day 186 - 10 Nov 95 - Page 61
1 see what you come back with next week. Are you going to
2 give me the extra information about Mr. Lamti?
3
4 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Let us see what I have here to hand up.
5 There are a couple of letters. The first two are letters.
6 The next one is the Mr. Lamti material, if I can do that
7 first.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why not hand me the whole lot up and I can
10 just flick through them? (Handed) I will not read those
11 now.
12
13 MR. MORRIS: There are a couple of other documents to hand up as
14 well which are, believe it or not, a letter I wrote to
15 Burger King with a response and also a translation of a
16 couple of the Norwegian documents from Mr. Jenssen.
17 (Handed)
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. It is nearly half past four.
20
21 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, can I just say that at some stage --
22 I know not now -- I would appreciate being able to raise
23 with your Lordship the whole question of what one might
24 call the future of the evidence in this case and when it
25 might conceivably finish, only simply because I do have at
26 some stage to try to fix the people on rainforest that I
27 have who come from abroad, including Mr. Chester, and not
28 limited to him. I am not willing to fix him again and then
29 move him unless I have to, but I would rather not have to
30 do that.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We might well be able to ---
33
34 MR. RAMPTON: We might be able to discuss that.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- discuss that on Monday afternoon if your
37 view of how long Monsieur Lamti will take is correct, or on
38 Tuesday if the Defendants are correct. But I think
39 Mr. Morris -- I address you because you have been mostly
40 concerned with the employment witnesses so far -- whatever
41 else we do, when Mr. Lamti is finished, be ready to go on
42 with the rest of the reading. I do not think there is a
43 great deal of it, but really get on with your response to
44 Mr. McGee -- I would not get too troubled about cutting out
45 the hearsay bits because I cut them out automatically in my
46 own mind anyway -- and reading such other witnesses as
47 there are within the employment sphere.
48
49 What you might also do is if you have got Civil Evidence
50 Act -- this is an issue, you will remember, I mentioned
51 several times before -- witnesses in areas which we have
52 already dealt with, or substantially dealt with, that is,
53 in effect, anything but environment publication and
54 counterclaim, do a bit of work on just where those are so
55 that they can be read as well, because that is something
56 else we might usefully do next week. But the first
57 priority is to see if you cannot rustle up some more
58 evidence for next week. 10.30 on Monday.
