                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  I mean, I do not know, I am in your hands.
     3        That might be a good idea.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I certainly would not oppose that.  It
     6        will speed things up.  Miss Moffatt has given some evidence
     7        of which -----
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is new stuff.
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  There is new stuff because there was new stuff
    12        from Mr. Beech.  There is also the stuff about the HR
    13        audits which was not written down in advance, so I would
    14        have no objection to that at all.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I was going to suggest is if you do not
    17        need it, say so, but we could adjourn now and resume at
    18        quarter to 2, unless that inconveniences anyone?
    19
    20   MS. STEEL:   No.  That is OK.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will do that.  Quarter to 2.
    23
    24                       (Luncheon Adjournment)
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  (To the witness) If you want to sit down at
    27        any stage, just pull the chair forward.
    28        A.  Thank you.
    29
    30   MS. STEEL:   Sorry, I cannot remember what I was about to ask
    31        previously.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You had asked whether Miss Moffatt
    34        specifically remembered Mr. Beech's orientation session.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:  I was moving on to something slightly different, and
    37        I cannot actually remember what it was.
    38
    39   MR. MORRIS:  (To the witness)  You said that under Mark Riley
    40        some 18-year-old staff did work past midnight and he took
    41        that very seriously; yes?
    42        A.  I said Dave Roberts took it more seriously.  Mark took
    43        it quite seriously, but not as much.
    44
    45   Q.   I am just referring to your paragraph 3.  You say: "While
    46        Mark Riley was the Store Manager, this happened only
    47        occasionally..."
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Would you like to get the yellow bundle
    50        which is over on the right there? 
    51        A.  OK. 
    52 
    53   Q.   If you go to a divider 39L and then look at paragraph 3 on
    54        the second page, please.
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  You say: "He is correct" -- that is Alan Beech
    58        -- "that some under 18-year-old staff did work past
    59        midnight while Mark Riley was the Store Manager.  This
    60        happened only occasionally.  He took it very seriously, and
