Day 257 - 06 Jun 96 - Page 05

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have studied in great detail the ones which
     2        I am asked to study in great detail.  But I think you had
     3        better bear in mind what I have just said.  The mere fact
     4        someone has read more about a subject than I have does not
     5        necessarily make them an expert on it, not within
     6        evidential terms.
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:  I have not got anything to hand about his
     9        experience, so I am not--
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  I remember we had a very similar
    12        discussion when he was called in the first place.  What I
    13        would like before the end of next week is some indication
    14        of what additional matters he is going to give in evidence.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  He told me he will try and do it this weekend.
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Very well.  Shall we go to Mr. Fairgrieve?
    19
    20   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes.  Recall Mr. Fairgrieve.
    21
    22                    Alistair Fairgrieve, recalled
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Fairgrieve is still under oath, whenever it
    25        was.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Let me make a note.  Thank you.
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  May I remind you, your Lordship, as best I can, I
    30        am afraid my account is defective and your Lordship may
    31        have in fact a clearer recollection of events, but
    32        Mr. Fairgrieve was last here on Wednesday, 17th May 1995.
    33        On that occasion some additional documents preceded him.
    34        He came back, essentially, for further cross-examination.
    35        Some of the documents which came with him on the last
    36        occasion were documents in the nature of questionnaires,
    37        which were the questionnaires which had been used for some
    38        of the surveys which originally with his statement and his
    39        appendices.  Perhaps the important document that he brought
    40        with him last time was a calculation of what the frequency
         of the--
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We did not go as far as him explaining how he
    44        set about that, about what it meant.
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  That is right.  Now, my Lord, there should now be
    47        in your Lordship's yellow bundle 5 behind Mr. Fairgrieve's
    48        statement at tab 3, of the first section, a proper index of
    49        all the appendices.  I have a spare one if your Lordship
    50        does not have it. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not have it at the moment.  What I did 
    53        is I put post-its with the documents numbers 1 to 6 on
    54        them, and I looked at them again yesterday.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  What that tells, your Lordship, is by reference to
    57        the word 'also' underlined in each appendix which were, in
    58        May 1995, the new documents.  Of course, it now tells your
    59        Lordship where to find them.
