Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 28


     
     1        days. I mean, is Saturday peculiar in this respect or does
     2        it happen on other days as well?
     3
     4   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Just, if it helps the court to say that the
     5        following Saturday, if it is a Saturday, the one that is
     6        dated the 15th at the top -- yes, it is Saturday that is
     7        being recorded.  Pages 331 to 334 exhibit actually the same
     8        problems as the ones we have looked at in many respects.
     9        In one case in page 3 -----
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is no need to go into it.  I am quite
    12        prepared to do a fair bit of research of my own, looking
    13        into documents, but it helps me if you can give a thumbnail
    14        sketch of what you say the documents show as part of your
    15        argument for what conclusion I should draw.
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:   Mr. Henden, you were questioned yesterday about
    18        performance reviews.  Would you accept that in the rap
    19        sessions that we have the notes for, which cover about
    20        three and a half years, although a bit inconsistently,
    21        there are consistent complaints about performance reviews?
    22        A.  In the rap sessions, there are -- can you point me to
    23        which documents?
    24
    25   Q.   If you turn to tab 10 again in volume 1, and then page 190,
    26        which is the rap session on 16th January 1992, under the
    27        training section.  OCLs are part of the performance review,
    28        are they not?
    29        A.  They are.  They form 60 per cent of the grading, and
    30        40 per cent of that is made up of performance reviews.
    31
    32   Q.  "OCLs do get done, but only some of the crew.  Crew feel
    33        there is a need for classes to be organised to get training
    34        up to date"; and then the -----
    35        A.  Sorry, which page is this?
    36
    37   Q.   On page 190.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I cannot read that.  I cannot read any of
    40        that.  It is OCLs, is it?
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  (To the witness)  Then the final paragraph,
    43        under the training section:  "Frequency of performance
    44        reviews is improving, but there is a huge backlog"; do you
    45        see that?
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I cannot find a copy of that.  Part of mine
    48        is so faint, I cannot read it.
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  This is the original.  It is, I would have said, 
    51        almost uncopyable.  I will pass it up to your Lordship, but 
    52        it is almost illegible. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause for a moment.
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:   Some people have not had a review in four months.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Pause a moment.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:   Sorry. (Pause)
