Day 170 - 05 Oct 95 - Page 04

     
     1        Mr. Rampton said, I suggest you leave them on one side
     2        because if you do ask her and she gives that answer, then I
     3        will have to say:  "Well, that is as far as we can go"  ---
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- because I do not want her saying what she
     8        has heard from someone else.
     9
    10        The other side of the matter is that if you think that with
    11        a bit of further enquiry, Miss O'Riordon or anyone else,
    12        you may get hold of some admissible evidence which helps
    13        you in some respect, whether with a view to proving a
    14        specific accident which we have not yet heard of or not,
    15        then in line with what I was saying the other day, get your
    16        details of it as soon as possible and give notice to the
    17        other side of it as soon as possible.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  I think Miss O'Riordon is going to write down all
    20        the notes that she can remember, and then there is no
         problem.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If we really concentrate on what happened
    24        with Miss O'Riordon today, and anything you want to ask
    25        about hustle, we should finish in good time and you can sit
    26        down with Miss O'Riordon and get your extra information
    27        then.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  We have actually booked a meeting this
    30        afternoon for legal advice, so we have no intention of
    31        going on for a long time.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would urge you to take as much advantage as
    34        you can of Miss O'Riordon's presence, if she is here
    35        today.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just say, I have a couple of things to
    38        serve.  I will wait until we have finished the evidence on
    39        this.
    40
    MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are they in relation to the evidence?
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  No, they are not in relation to the evidence.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us hear Mrs. Norris then.
    46
    47                     ANNETTE VIANIE NORRIS, sworn
    48                       Examined by Mr. Atkinson
    49
    50   Q.   Mrs. Norris, you have given your name as Annette Vianie 
    51        Hall -- you are now Norris, are you not? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   You give your address as the McDonald's Headquarters in
    55        East Finchley; is that right?

    57
    58   Q.   Just tell us exactly what your position is now with the
    59        Company?
    60        A.  I am a General Manager.
