     3   MS. STEEL:  I have two documents that are pretty short to hand
     4        up.  They are to go behind Ms. Dibb's statement.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The last document I have at the moment behind
     7        her statement is the one with a heart shaped fruit of some
     8        kind on it.  Should it go behind that?
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:   Yes, that is fine.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you want to call Ms. Dibb now?
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    15
    16                   MS. SUSAN ELIZABETH DIBB, Sworn.
    17                      Examined by the Defendants
    18
    19   MS. STEEL:  Can you give your full names to the court, please?
    20        A.  My name is Susan Elizabeth Dibb.
    21
    22   Q.   Can you give your address?
    23        A.  17 Mortimer Crescent, London NW6 5AP.
    24
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are very faint; try to keep your voice
    26        up.  If you speak towards Mr. Rampton everyone will get it,
    27        but speak up loud and clear and do not hurry.
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  I do not know whether you want -----
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not think there is any need to repeat
    32        either the full name or her address.
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:  Have you a copy of your statement in front of you?
    35        A.  Yes, I have.  And I have also got some notes that
    36        I have made following the video, viewings of the video tape
    37        that I have watched, and they also make cross-reference to
    38        some of the references that I would want to refer to whilst
    39        I am giving evidence.
    40
    Q.   Is that OK?
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think you should start by taking Ms. Dibb
    44        who is your witness in the way you want to.  Do
    45        I understand from the question you asked that you would
    46        like to follow the form you have done with other witnesses,
    47        and whatever else you ask, have her statement which I have
    48        and read as part of her evidence?
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:  I was going to ask that, although I mean it is 
    51        fairly short, so it is not a problem if you did not want it 
    52        taken as read. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, it is entirely a matter for you.  I think
    55        it would be quite convenient because she makes a number of
    56        points there which I have already noted.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:   OK.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So why do you not do that?  I will do it for
