19
20 Q. About right, is it? I am interested, Mr. Davis, in
21 Colchester in the mid-1980s when you were first an
22 Assistant Manager and then the Manager. The reason is, as
23 you probably know, the Defendants have said that they will
24 call as witnesses in this case some of the people who
25 worked there during your time as Manager. I am going to
26 tell you who they are. I want you to tell us if you can
27 remember them. First of all, Mr. Adrian Brett, do you

45 MR. MORRIS: Can I just say that we are intending to call Ahmed
46 Shafibeck, but he has moved and we cannot get his new phone
47 number, but I am pretty certain he will still be coming.
48
49 MR. RAMPTON: Until I get confirmation, I have left him off my
50 list, my Lord.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You know him as well in any event?
53
54 THE WITNESS: Yes, I do, yes.
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: So that is six people at Colchester at or around
57 that time, though some of them stayed on after you had
58 gone, Mr. Davis, it appears. Do you see any of those
59 people in court?
60 A. Yes.
