                                             KIM MOFFATT, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        A.  What was in the Crew Handbook, yes.
     2
     3   MR. MORRIS:  Do you know what it says in the Crew Handbook about
     4        breaks?
     5        A.  Do I?  Yes, I am not -- I could not reel it off the top
     6        of my head but I have read it on several occasions.
     7
     8   Q.   When you were checking, as you did, and you reported back
     9        to Managers, and this was part of your responsibility and
    10        you were in charge of the paperwork and all this kind of
    11        stuff, do you remember any of the exceptions to the
    12        McDonald's break allowances that are specified in the Crew
    13        Handbook?
    14        A.  Do I remember?  Sorry, I do not really understand.
    15
    16   Q.   Do you remember any exceptions to the breaks that you
    17        specified, 15, 30 and 45 minutes, and then a 45 and 20, if
    18        it is more than 10 hours shift, do you remember any
    19        exceptions to those breaks?
    20        A.  So, do I remember anyone actually taking more than that
    21        off?
    22
    23   Q.   No, do you remember, are there any exceptions to those
    24        specified in the handbook?
    25        A.  I am not sure.  I have not got -- I would need a copy.
    26
    27   Q.   I am asking you if you remember.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not be ashamed to say you do not
    30        remember.  Lots of people ---
    31        A.  No, not standing up here, I cannot remember.
    32
    33   Q.   -- open the manuals when they are doing tests just to ---
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   -- look and see and make sure they have got it right.  If
    37        can remember, good for you, but if you cannot, do not
    38        hesitate to say so.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  You have been hat McDonald's how long?
    41        A.  10 years next year.
    42
    43   Q.   You have been doing orientations how long?
    44        A.  Probably about six years.
    45
    46   Q.   Six years.  You say that you actually physically read out
    47        the entire Crew Handbook?
    48        A.  I did not say the entire, no, not the entire Crew
    49        Handbook.
    50 
    51   Q.   You just skate through the main bits? 
    52        A.  There is an actual -- in the orientation checklist they 
    53        have main headings, and I will go through those and any
    54        other bits that the employee wants to talk about, or I want
    55        to talk about.
    56
    57   Q.   OK.  I do admit I was a bit was surprised when you said you
    58        read it out.
    59        A.  No.
