Day 153 - 12 Jul 95 - Page 03

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will suppose that I will not be given a
     2        letter to go in my correspondence bundle unless you have a
     3        copy of it or Mrs. Brindley-Codd tells you in advance that
     4        she is going to send it to me.
     5
     6        I should say that I am not going to scour the
     7        correspondence bundle unless people draw my attention to
     8        something in it, because the correspondence is not evidence
     9        in itself.  If it is thought to have relevance to a point,
    10        either party can refer me to it.
    11
    12        I am merely keeping the correspondence bundle, because
    13        otherwise I would be knee deep in bits of loose paper.
    14
    15        Who is going to start Mr. Davis's cross-examination?
    16
    17                      MR. MARK DAVIS, recalled
    18             Cross-examined by the Defendants, continued
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  I am just clearing the decks.  Just one thing to
         start off with:  you said that you are the Ops Manager for
    22        about 35 stores now?
    23        A.  That is correct.
    24
    25   Q.   And you have five supervisors underneath you?
    26        A.  Yes.
    27
    28   Q.   You said they have five or six stores each.  They would
    29        have seven stores each, would they not, approximately?
    30        A.  Five, six or seven, yes.
    31
    32   Q.   That would be seven, would it not, if it is 35 stores and
    33        five supervisors?
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If they have the same number each.
    36
    37   THE WITNESS:   One of them -- there is are three restaurants
    38        that are not being looked after by anybody, sort of
    39        reporting directly to me at the moment, because she is on
    40        maternity leave.  So, effectively, I have five supervisors
         reporting to me.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  Covering which -----
    44        A.  There is one who has got eight.
    45
    46   Q.   But the average would be about seven?
    47        A.  Yes.
    48
    49   Q.   Right.
    50        A.  One of the restaurants only opened last week and two of 
    51        the others only opened in the last month. So, yes, you are 
    52        probably right. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:   I would like to get your first statement out,
    55        please.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is yellow volume X, Mr. Davis, tab 33.
    58
    59   THE WITNESS:   Thank you.
