Day 243 - 02 May 96 - Page 26
1 I will, if I recall Dr. Arnott, ask him about that,
2 certainly, if he is willing to deal with it.
3
4 MS. STEEL: I mean, we would like a statement of what
5 Dr. Arnott is going to say particularly in relation to
6 that.
7
8 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, I do not need Ms. Steel's help about that
9 either.
10
11 MS. STEEL: You have not said that you are going to get
12 statements.
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What about Mr. Fairgrieve because he is the
15 one witness among all these in relation to whom it cannot
16 be said that it depends on getting information from any
17 other witness before he is called.
18
19 MR. RAMPTON: No. I know that he can do 6th and 7th June, so if
20 I had Naismith and Arnott for the 20th, 21st, 22nd May,
21 23rd and 24th are blank anyway because of Mr. Morris' case
22 in the County Court, then there is nothing until June 4th
23 which is, as far as I know at the moment, Professor
24 Campbell. If he starts prompt at 10.30, I do not think it
25 is likely, my Lord, that he will go through into the
26 Wednesday, but he might, but I know that Mr. Fairgrieve can
27 do 6th or 7th June.
28
29 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think he should be put in for both.
30
31 MR. RAMPTON: That leaves only, so far as we are concerned,
32 Denise Pearce who is not any longer (indeed, has not been
33 for many years) a McDonald's person. We have to find out
34 her availability.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you remind me about her?
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: She is the lady who used to do the wages at
39 McDonald's, to put it in a colloquial way, and she is the
40 one that saw the Wages Inspector, Mr. Mills, back in 1987,
41 I think it was, or 86.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Can we -- it is all right.
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: I will tell your Lordship what her availability is
46 when I know it. I see at the moment that there are
47 possibilities on Tuesday, 14th May and Friday, 17th May,
48 amongst others. Your Lordship said (and I
49 respectfully agree) that one does not want anybody on
50 Wednesday, 8th, though it is a blank.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No.
53
54 MR. RAMPTON: The first available days would be Tuesday, 14th
55 and Friday, 17th.
56
57 MS. STEEL: For Pearce, this is?
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: This is for Pearce; alternatively, some time in
60 the week beginning the 10th, or whenever really, because
