Day 047 - 07 Nov 94 - Page 62
1 What I am concentrating on at the moment is completing all
2 the advertising witnesses and if we do not complete them on
3 Friday, then it seems to me there is a reasonable prospect
4 of completing them by close of day on Monday. That is not
5 unrealistic from anyone's point of view and then we can
6 talk on Monday about when we start up again and what with.

8 MR. MORRIS: We will try and contact Miss Gallatley to come on
9 Wednesday if she is still available.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That was when she was due to come.
12
13 MR. MORRIS: I did indicate there might be a problem because this
14 week seemed to be all over the place but I will certainly
15 contact her and also Ms Dibbs can come on Thursday to be
16 ready when Mr. Miles has completed his evidence.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, we may start Ms Dibbs on Thursday. Well
19 look, the proposal then is we go to Mr. Hawkes tomorrow. We
20 hear Miss Gallatley on Wednesday. Ring her as soon as you
21 can when you get out of court today to put that to her.
22
23 MS. STEEL: If Miss Gallatley is coming on Wednesday would it be
24 possible to start an hour later because we have not
25 actually had a chance to discuss the evidence with her.
26
27 MR. MORRIS: We have not actually met her to talk to her at all.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That might well be perfectly possible, if you
30 said you weren't ready to go, you wanted to start at half
31 past eleven, then I do not suppose I could say no, but the
32 first thing is to make sure that she can come on Wednesday.
33 I do not want you to offer her a choice unless she has a
34 very good reason for not coming on Wednesday. She really
35 must come on Wednesday which is the day on which it was
36 proposed to call her in any event. If you tell me tomorrow
37 that you have contacted her, she is not coming, for all I
38 know she may be prepared to come down on tomorrow
39 afternoon, so you can speak tomorrow evening with her. Make
40 your best arrangements in relation to that. Try and avoid
41 losing an hour on Wednesday because obviously we want to
42 make best use of the time. If you find yourself in an
43 impossible situation as far as that is concerned, let me
44 know. But we will continue with Mr. Hawkes tomorrow. I
45 really think we ought to be able to finish Mr. Hawkes
46 comfortably tomorrow especially now you know what answers
47 Mr. Green has given from his point of view. We will start
48 Miss Gallatley as soon as we can on Wednesday, subject to
49 you telling me there is any problem tomorrow. We will have
50 Mr. Miles and the remainder of Miss Gallatley if there is
51 anything left on Thursday and begin Ms Dibbs if there is
52 time to on Thursday.
53 Right, we will resume at 10:30 tomorrow morning.
54 The court adjourned until the following day.
