Day 206 - 22 Jan 96 - Page 41

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  I do not want the situation to arise where
     2        I have not put some documents to their witnesses and then
     3        when it comes to Mr. Logan and I refer him to say, for
     4        example, store audit reports, Mr. Rampton gets up and
     5        says: "You cannot put it to Mr. Logan, because you did not
     6        put it to Mr. Henden", or -----
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All I can say is, when you do begin to
     9        cross-examine, start by putting where you think a document
    10        contradicts what the witness has said, put the document,
    11        and we will see how we go and clear the air about it.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  Before I call Mr. Henden, I was handed -- as
    14        I believe your Lordship must have been -- this morning, yet
    15        further details, apparently derived from Mr. Logan, in note
    16        form by Mr. Morris, expanding an allegation about altering
    17        people's clock cards or altering their hours.  That is an
    18        allegation which was put to Mr. Richards without any need
    19        to ask, and your Lordship may hear some argument about
    20        that, where your Lordship actually stopped Mr. Morris going
         on with it.  But there are other things, including
    22        expansion of that allegation in items 2 to 6, which have
    23        never been alleged before; and, because I only got them
    24        this morning, it is natural that they are not responded to
    25        in the written statements of our witnesses.  With
    26        your Lordship's permission, I would propose to ask
    27        Mr. Hendon to comment on the new allegations by Mr. Logan,
    28        because I know that he can now.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  If that is all right, I will do that.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is no objection to that, is there,
    35        Mr. Morris?
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    38
    39   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Henden, could you go into the witness box over
    40        there, please.
    41
    42                            MR. HENDEN, sworn
    43                         Examined by MR. RAMPTON Q.C.
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Henden, could you please find in the shelves
    46        behind you -- I am afraid I do not know which volume it is.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yellow XB
    49
    50   MR. RAMPTON:  It is a yellow backed file. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Halfway down, in the middle. 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  It has X and B on it.  What tab is it?
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  39H
    57
    58   MR. RAMPTON:  I am grateful to your Lordship.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Sorry, 39I.
