Day 076 - 18 Jan 95 - Page 44

     
     1
     2   MR. MORRIS:  We were going to ask you to clarify the effect of
     3        your ruling on the slaughterhouse point, not about the
     4        slaughterhouse itself, but the implications of the
     5        counterclaim in your judgment when you made the judgment
     6        about the slaughterhouses issue.  It was clarification of
     7        what the implications were.
     8
     9        The other matter was the system with the documents.  That
    10        seems to be improving.  Mrs. Brinley-Codd has been working
    11        on that and maybe I should just talk to her about it.
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:   I have got some documents to serve for the next
    14        issue.
    15
    16   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have got those documents and we will
    17        consider them.
    18
    19   MS. STEEL:  There is another document as well which is from when
    20        Sue Dibb was giving evidence.  She referred to a survey
         that was in The Guardian and I think copies were asked for
    22        that.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  These can be handed in.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  They do not have to be done in front of your
    27        Lordship.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  It does not help that I am here.  I am
    30        going to rise now.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  Before your Lordship rises, Mr. North again.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  What is the position about Mr. North?
    35
    36   MR. MORRIS:  We left a message on his answer phone last night to
    37        get back as soon as possible.  We said we would serve his
    38        statement either today or tomorrow and preferably today.
    39        There were a couple of points we wanted to clarify with
    40        him.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I remember all that.  It is just as well to
    43        mention it to make sure you it have it in hand.
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have half a day which was not scheduled,
    48        though we might have anticipated today would be an early
    49        day, so I just rely on you to concentrate on that.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  It will definitely be served tomorrow as we 
    52        promised. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Try to make it early tomorrow because that
    55        gives everyone time to consider it.  We will resume at
    56        10.30 next Wednesday.
    57
