Day 069 - 19 Dec 94 - Page 05

     
     1        normal procedure would be that the documents would be
     2        discovered and Mr. Rampton would have the option at least
     3        of leading evidence-in-chief as to that.  Leaving aside any
     4        comment about the direction of Mr. Morris'
     5        cross-examination, obviously some things might be explained
     6        in any further questioning in chief which would avoid
     7        questions in cross-examination which were merely seeking an
     8        explanation of what the documents are.  What do you say
     9        about that?
    10
    11   MS. STEEL:  All I was going to say was that, realistically
    12        speaking, we are not going to finish today, in any event,
    13        so we are very happy for Mr. Rampton to go through them
    14        today, if he wants to do that, and can do that now.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why do you not do it now, so that we are not
    17        breaking into cross-examination?
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  That means that whatever embarrassment I feel
    20        about the late discovery -- at any rate, the first of the
         new documents I have handed in -- in is to some extent
    22        mitigated.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Might I suggest that at some stage all these
    25        documents -- that is, the ones that were handed up by
    26        Mr. Morris and the ones which you have handed up this
    27        morning, and the Humane Slaughter of Livestock, the very
    28        small bundle which was handed in a few days ago -- go into
    29        one small additional exhibits bundle which can have
    30        Dr. Gomez Gonzalez' name on the other side.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  Or else, my Lord, we can put into the pink Rearing
    33        and Slaughter file.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If there is enough room.
    36
    37   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not think it is a very fat file, my Lord.  In
    38        addition to those regulations which your Lordship has there
    39        and had held up a moment ago, your Lordship should also
    40        have a rather blotchy copy of the Act itself and its 1978
         amendment.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Very well.
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  What I suggest we do during the next few days, or
    46        during the vacation, is to put them into that pink file and
    47        give them new tab numbers and add those to the index.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Perhaps someone can organise that with
    50        Mr. Styles, as is convenient. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  Before we start, I did prepare the list of the 
    53        things we wanted to bring up tomorrow, legal matters.
    54
    55                     DR. GOMEZ GONZALEZ, continued
    56                    Further examined by MR. RAMPTON
    57
    58   Q.   Dr. Gomez Gonzalez, do you have that bundle anywhere around
    59        in any of those shelves?
    60        A.  No, I do not.
