Day 145 - 29 Jun 95 - Page 26

     
     1        topic altogether, I really think you have put as much as
     2        you legitimately can and we will have see what comes in the
     3        future.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  We will try to plead -----
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is another matter.  You are only too
     8        well aware that we must get through Mr. Stein.  I am going
     9        to release him tomorrow afternoon.  I hope we did not go
    10        anywhere near as far as that and I am keen to get through
    11        the remainder of his evidence with as much expedition as we
    12        can.
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, with those words in mind, I wonder
    15        whether -- only because Mr. Stein has to sort his travel
    16        arrangements -- if it is certain he is not going to finish
    17        today, then he would like to be told when he should.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What do you think between you and Ms. Steel?
    20
    MR. RAMPTON:  The point being, my Lord, he could get an
    22        aeroplane tonight or if not he could get one tomorrow --
    23        that is all -- but it has to be sorted.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:   I was actually trying to go through all my notes to
    26        check which ones I needed to ask.  I have not finished
    27        doing that yet.  I think we almost certainly will be
    28        finished this afternoon but I do not know whether I would
    29        want to guarantee that 100 per cent.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  No, that is very helpful, my Lord, because it
    32        means that he should not cancel his flight tonight.  He has
    33        two booked provisionally; one tonight, one tomorrow.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We cannot eliminate the risk.
    36
    37   MR. RAMPTON:  No, but that is a risk he must take.  My Lord,
    38        there was one other thing.  I was optimistic that I might
    39        be given a list of the Defendants' interlocutory topics
    40        when I arrived at court this morning.  It has not emerged.
         I am getting a little bit concerned about it; maybe it is
    42        here and they just forgot to give it to us.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  A list has been done, combining the two that we
    45        have both done previously.  I have not actually checked the
    46        final version, so I will check that.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will come back at five past 2.  I would
    49        like you to spend five or 10 minutes just looking at that.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  Yes. 
    52 
    53                        (Luncheon Adjournment)
    54
    55   MR. RAMPTON:  The list of interlocutory topics, I hope?
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:  If I get a chance to speak.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How are we doing?
