Day 255 - 23 May 96 - Page 10
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think, if a point is going to be made on
2 this in due course, we had all better have a copy to put
3 in.
4
5 MS. STEEL: OK. It must have got missed out of the bundle.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can we have copies first? (A short pause
8 while copies of the document were made).
9
10 MR. MORRIS: Maybe if we can get hold of one?
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you remember what it said?
13
14 MS. STEEL: No.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No-one else has a copy either.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: No, my Lord, I am sorry, ours is deficient too.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Ask on the basis of what is there. Put your
21 question.
22
23 MS. STEEL: The thing is it is a bit pointless without the whole
24 of it, but maybe if we look at tab 7 for now and then come
25 back to it.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
28
29 MS. STEEL: (To the witness): Do you remember this tab 7? It is
30 the coming of the Greens?
31 A. Are we back to the first tab?
32
33 Q. Yes, sorry, the words complained of.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you remember that?
36 A. I do not off hand.
37
38 Q. Just pause a moment. Finish tab 7 first. Is there
39 anything more you want to ask about tab 7 if he cannot
40 remember it?
41
42 MS. STEEL: I was going to ask which parts it was that the
43 Company sued over?
44 A. I cannot remember this one at all.
45
46 Q. Sorry, took some kind of action over?
47 A. Yes. I cannot remember this one at all. I said I was
48 responsible for most of the actions regarding publications
49 but other departments may well have got something and taken
50 it straight to Barlows. I cannot remember this one.
51
52 Q. It seems to be about employment and CFCs, although ----
53 A. Yes. I have not read it through but I cannot remember
54 seeing it.
55
56 Q. The bit about CFCs is just saying that you were phasing
57 them out so I cannot imagine you took any action?
58 A. In which case it may have gone to solicitors via the
59 quality control people who were involved in CFCs, the
60 purchasing department.
