                                            SEMIR KHAZNA, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        A.  On frequent checks it occurred again.
     2
     3   Q.   Right.  Did you take any disciplinary action against
     4        Mr. Nevison?
     5        A.  I spoke to him verbally -- nothing in writing, no.
     6
     7   Q.   Right.  In paragraph 10 you say:  "So far as long hours are
     8        concerned, it was certainly not the case that staff were
     9        scheduled to work excess hours".  I mean, does this apply
    10        to the whole of the time that you were Supervisor or just
    11        part of it?
    12        A.  Yes, on my visits to restaurants, I would, because it
    13        is a very -- if you look at the layout of the restaurant,
    14        it is just one floor -- I would always go round and check
    15        the crew room, look at the schedule, if it is posted up on
    16        time and the hours that have been scheduled which is
    17        totalled up.
    18
    19   Q.   Right.  That does not really answer the question.  Are you
    20        saying that for the whole of the time that you were
    21        Supervisor of the Heathrow store staff were never scheduled
    22        to work excess hours?
    23        A.  They were not scheduled to work, no.
    24
    25   Q.   But they did work excess hours?
    26        A.  Some would have, yes.
    27
    28   MS. STEEL:   Is it possible to have a five minute break?
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    31
    32                          (Short Adjournment)
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  You say that you were in charge of the Heathrow and
    35        Feltham stores ---
    36        A.  That is correct.
    37
    38   Q.  -- when Heathrow Feltham people were being trained at
    39        Heathrow and then moved to Feltham?
    40        A.  That is correct.
    41
    42   Q.   Was that your decision to do that?
    43        A.  What, to train the Feltham crew at Heathrow?
    44
    45   Q.   Yes.
    46        A.  It was the nearest branch to Heathrow, so it made
    47        common sense for the people to travel to work.
    48
    49   Q.   So it was your decision?
    50        A.  And it was my own branch, so I could monitor it, 
    51        obviously. 
    52 
    53   Q.   OK.  It was your decision?
    54        A.  Me and my seniors, yes.
    55
    56   Q.   You and your seniors?
    57        A.  Yes.
    58
    59   Q.   You are saying that you came in to help out a Manager who
    60        was new deal with some problems, serious problems, at the
 
                                      52
