     1   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I am not going to, no.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So, we should go ahead with Mrs. Hovi on
     4        Friday.  What you have to consider is whether there is
     5        anything further you want to ask her in chief, mostly in
     6        the light of Mr. Bone's statement which you have seen, but
     7        also in the light of the new plan which has come forward,
     8        perhaps.  There may not be.  I am not urging you to, but
     9        those are matters you have to consider.  Then, essentially,
    10        the main part of Mrs. Hovi's evidence will be the evidence
    11        she gives when being cross-examined by Mr. Rampton.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Mr. Harrison has arrived.  We have not met
    14        him yet.  We would like to talk to him.  I do not know how
    15        long the Plaintiffs are planning to cross-examine.
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you give any kind of estimate?
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  I will be a wee bit longer than I was with
    20        Mrs. Harrison, but not a lot.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you expecting that there is anything
    23        really extra to ask him?  Will he go in chief much the same
    24        way as Mrs. Harrison, now that you have his second
    25        statement; that is, one or two additional questions?
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:  I think so.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Is there any risk that we will not
    30        finish Mr. Harrison this afternoon, if that is so?
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  This afternoon?
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  None at all.  If he takes 20 minutes in chief,
    37        having his statements read, and we start at half past 12,
    38        then I could easily finish him by 10 past one.
    39
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will rise now.  I will ask Mr. Glen to come
    42        down just before half 12.  I would like you to be ready, if
    43        you can be, by half past 12.  If you need just a few more
    44        minutes, then mention it to Mr. Glen and he will telephone
    45        me.
    46
    47   MS. STEEL:   Thank you.
    48
    49                         (Luncheon Adjournment)
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:   If we can call Mr. Harrison? 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    54
    55                    KEVIN RICHARD HARRISON, sworn
    56                     Examined by the Defendants
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:   If you could give your full names to the court,
    59        please?
    60        A.  Kevin Richard Harrison.
