3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris, I was prepared to give you the
4 quarter of an hour you wanted this morning, but I propose
5 to sit sharp at 10.30 on Monday. I know Mr. Alimi has been
6 in court in the past. If you need to take any further
7 instructions from him before you call him on Monday
8 morning, you must get here early to do so, or do it over
9 the weekend; because, otherwise, one just falls into the
10 habit of starting late every time there is a new witness.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: We would like to call our witness.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Sutcliffe, come into the witness box,
15 please.

17 PETER EVERARD SUTCLIFFE, affirmed
18 Examined by the Defendants
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you sit down comfortably on that chair or
21 not?
22
23 THE WITNESS: Sure.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Right. Since you are sitting down, keep
26 your voice up loud and clear. The microphone does not help
27 you at all; that is just for the recording mechanism.
28 Speak out loud and clear into the court, and take your time
29 when answering the questions. Yes, Mr. Morris.
30
31 MR. MORRIS: Your full name, please, Mr. Sutcliffe?
32 A. My full name is Peter Everard Sutcliffe.

35 A. I am a team leader for the Stonebridge Housing Action
36 Trust.

39 from December 1986?
40 A. I did.
41
42 Q. So you worked throughout 1987?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. Just before we go into the details from there, what kind of
46 jobs have you done since you left McDonald's?
47 A. I have been an early morning cleaner, I have done
48 administrative jobs, and for the last six or seven years
49 I have worked in public housing within a variety of
50 organisations.
51
52 Q. Was McDonald's your first job?
53 A. Yes, it was.
