Day 200 - 12 Dec 95 - Page 11

     
     1
     2        So I am expecting to have something on Friday.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What was the loose end about E.coli?
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  It was the Preston report commenting on that as an
     7        expert, his opinion about .....
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am afraid I had forgotten that.  That was
    10        something he was going to do a report on, was it?
    11        I thought it was just on residues that he was going to ----
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:   When we started to ask him questions about the
    14        Preston incident, he was told that if he wanted to give
    15        evidence about that he had to do a statement about it
    16        before he could give evidence about it.
    17
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So you will serve a report in relation to the
    19        E.coli matter by Friday, will you?
    20
    MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  I am hoping that he is going to be able to
    22        draft at least a skeleton by Friday on the other matter on
    23        the pesticides residues.  I have not had a chance to get
    24        back to him yet.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What was the last direction or indication
    27        I gave with regard to Dr. North?  I think you explained the
    28        problem you were having and I have not checked back, but
    29        I have a faint recollection (and it is a faint
    30        recollection) that I said if I gave some kind of direction
    31        as to time that might help you get something out of
    32        Dr. North.   Can you remember what I did say?  Did I give a
    33        date?
    34
    35   MR. MORRIS:  I cannot remember.  I think the employment evidence
    36        was taking longer than had initially been scheduled for.
    37        It had got lost as an urgent matter.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That my be but what I would like you to do is
    40        to remind me on Friday, or Mr. Rampton can remind on
         Friday.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, I am afraid I cannot remember at the moment.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Perhaps someone could refer me on Friday to
    46        what I last said about timing.
    47
    48   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, my Lord, we will look it up.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  We will certainly be able to find it. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us leave that for the moment, then.  So
    55        far as further nutrition evidence, including any further
    56        documentation so far as Mr. Fairgrieve, is concerned, we
    57        start from this, do we not, that, come what may, Professor
    58        Crawford has to come back for further cross-examination?
    59
    60   MR. RAMPTON:  I am not sure that is right, my Lord.  I do not
