Day 110 - 29 Mar 95 - Page 16

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  No, that is it.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I assumed you were not calling Mr. Erickman.
     4        I have read his statement and it is comment.  What is
     5        contained in his statement is comment which you can make,
     6        if you choose, yourself, depending on the evidence at the
     7        end of the trial.
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  I believe all those matters have been,
    10        effectively, admitted by the Plaintiffs about the use of
    11        those particular -- I cannot remember now.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I had assumed you were not going to call
    14        Mr. Erickman.  I could not see he had any anything to add
    15        to the factual database, as it were.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  Mr. Lineman from America, we are intending to call
    18        in the environmental section.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is not just Civil Evidence Act?
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  If we can raise enough money, then we are hoping to
    23        bring him, otherwise it will just be Civil Evidence Act.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would like to have got a clear idea of just
    26        how long they will take.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  It is not always easy for us to know because we are
    29        not that experienced.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the situation so far as the
    32        employment enquiries are going?  Have you managed to get
    33        your letters off?
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, the bulk of them went off, I think, about
    36        seven days ago.  There are just a few that we need to
    37        check, double check, addresses, things like that, because
    38        some people we have not spoken to for over a year.  We have
    39        had two replies so far.  I do not know what that
    40        indicates.  I do not know, to be honest.
    41
    42        The exercise has been valuable in that we have also asked
    43        people to identify whether they need their fares, whether
    44        they want a formal letter and things like that.  So, it has
    45        been helpful, but I do not know in terms of what the
    46        responses are, whether any conclusions can be drawn.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you had responses yet?
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  We have had two responses so far. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We may come back to it before then, but what 
    53        I would like you to be able to do is marshal the
    54        information you have, so we can get some picture of what
    55        the response has been, by which I mean not just how many
    56        people but whether they have said they intend to come or
    57        not and so on, so we can have another look at that towards
    58        the end of next week.
    59
    60        I appreciate your full two weeks, 14 days, may not have run
