                                             KIM MOFFATT, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        be honest.  I believe we were told he started in February
     2        94.
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:   February to June.
     5        A.  Yes.
     6
     7   MR. MORRIS:  But if we look at page 43, which is 10th April,
     8        would that be a fairer cross-section of the employees in
     9        terms of people getting pay reviews, or whatever, and
    10        getting wage increases?
    11        A.  That is when they are proposed.  That is when they
    12        should have one.
    13
    14   Q.   That is when they should have one.  You cannot just propose
    15        what they should get if they have not had a pay review?
    16        A.  No, you say they are ready -- you know, it is every
    17        four months they have a pay review.
    18
    19   Q.   It says:  "The following rate charges were proposed during
    20        the pay" -----
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  "Changes" I think it is.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  "Changes", sorry.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There are only some.  I see "J. O'Brien" has
    27        one.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  What page are we on?
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page 43, and all the others have stayed the
    32        same.  He has gone up to 3.25.  He has gone up 10p.  So,
    33        presumably, before his new rate he was 3.15?
    34        A. Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   All the others have stayed the same.  Instead of putting
    37        nothing at all in the differential plus or minus, they have
    38        put the rate which is just the same ---
    39        A.  Yes, because they have -----
    40
    41   Q.   -- except for him; he has, presumably, got 10p more rather
    42        than 10p less?
    43        A.  They are actually proposed, though, they are not -- it
    44        is the computer saying these people are due.
    45
    46   Q.   Yes.
    47
    48   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  Of those due, only one of them actually got
    49        it at that time?
    50        A.  On that -- they are actually due in the period so they 
    51        might have it either side of that after, you know, this 
    52        paperwork has been printed out. 
    53
    54   Q.   Considering the extent -----
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I just pause a moment?
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  It might help to look through some of these.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us make sure we are on the same ground.
