                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1        A.  And he worked the full notice, he would get it, yes.
     2
     3   Q.   He appears to have worked during the course of this
     4        fortnight about 28, 29 hours, something like that.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I assume the accrued holiday pay, £5.67, is
     7        8.33 ---
     8        A. -- per cent of that.
     9
    10   Q.   -- per cent of 68.17.  I assume it is -- leading to a total
    11        of 59.72.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  And the "holiday pay owed" entry would be what has
    14        accumulated?
    15        A.  Yes.
    16
    17   Q.   At that time?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   Q.   At that date.  It may not help, but just because people are
    21        curious about these things, do you know what the column
    22        "holiday week due" means, where we have got figures with
    23        decimals?
    24        A.  I just think he is definitely owed a week, and then it
    25        is -- I am not 100 per cent sure, but I know he is owed a
    26        week and a half, just over.
    27
    28   Q.   Can it happen that somebody gives due notice, works out
    29        their fortnight, and then leaves, and they do not get their
    30        holiday money?
    31        A.  No.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  But what if a student says to a
    34        Manager -- I do not know whether it is Mr. Beech's case or
    35        not, but he does not write any form of notice, but just
    36        says at some time in August or September: "I have got to
    37        leave towards the end of September to go to college";
    38        I mean, is that notice or not?
    39        A.  Yes, because they have informed us.  There is a
    40        different -----
    41
    42   Q.   So it could be informal in that way?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   But if he says the day before: "I am off to college next
    46        week", then that is not good enough?
    47        A.  Yes; and that is a college worker's sort of situation,
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  I am going to leave holiday pay now.  If anybody
    50        wants to else to ask about it, they are welcome in due 
    51        course. 
    52 
    53        Can you go now, please, Miss Moffatt, to the second page of
    54        Mr. Morris' handwritten notes?  We have dealt with his
    55        working on the grill on his first day, so he says.  Then
    56        there is an entry which says: "Clam shells were sometimes
    57        badly set when Mr. Beech came to work."  Have you got that
    58        one?
    59        A.  Yes.
