Day 148 - 05 Jul 95 - Page 30

     
     1   MS. STEEL:   I do not think it makes much difference.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   If you call them "enquiry agents" then there
     4        is no fuss at all.  For the avoidance of any doubt, do you
     5        actually have the dates of the meetings and place of the
     6        meetings listed?
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Read those out then.
    11
    12   MS. STEEL:  The meetings attended by Roy Pocklington.
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, we need not go on with this.  The
    15        statements which we have recently served and which identify
    16        relevant meetings, if and in so far as there are notes
    17        which are relevant to those meetings, they will be
    18        disclosed.  So far as they are relevant and not
    19        privileged.  There is a large extent to which they are not
    20        privileged, I anticipate, and, therefore, there will be
         some discovered.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:  If Mr. Rampton does not want me to read out the
    24        dates -- I was just trying to be helpful.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  I know which the dates are because they are in the
    27        statement.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It was only if there was going to be any
    30        dispute about it that one needed the dates.
    31
    32   MS. STEEL:   I think that is it then on documents.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will adjourn now and resume at 2 o'clock.
    35
    36                        (Luncheon adjournment)
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:  I think we were just going to raise a couple of
    39        things in relation to discovery.  Then we wanted to ask
    40        whether the Plaintiffs could state their position on the
         items that we have requested discovery on because some of
    42        them, obviously the employment ones, are -- the sooner we
    43        get the documents the better.  So if that could be ---
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, I would like you to ---
    46
    47   MS. STEEL:  -- be sorted out.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- answer Mr. Rampton's as well and then
    50        I will hear Mr. Rampton.  The argument should finish 
    51        tomorrow.  I probably will not give my ruling straightaway 
    52        in any event. 
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:  On all the things that are outstanding because that
    55        may take quite a long time?
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, the matters which Mr. Rampton and
    58        Mr. Atkinson addressed me on the day before yesterday.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:  But you want us to answer all of them?
