                                             KEVIN HARRISON, Re-examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us assume we allow until midday on Monday
     3        for Mrs. Hovi.  No one is suggesting that anyone be
     4        inserted tomorrow or Thursday, as I understand it.  Is that
     5        right?
     6
     7   MS. STEEL:   We have -- I mean, we certainly need time to read
     8        Miss Hovi's stuff.
     9
    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, very well.  Can anyone be inserted for
    11        the rest of Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday of next week?
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  We can see if we can get one of our outstanding
    14        employment witnesses in that period.  Harriet Lamb could
    15        not make, if I can find my note -----
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, what I -----
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  The first date she could make was the 11th March,
    20        which is a Monday.  That is following the completion of the
    21        Plaintiffs' rainforest case.  There is no firmed up
    22        witnesses around that period.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  She can be inserted anyway.  Has she actually
    25        said she can come on that day?
    26
    27   MR. MORRIS:  On the 11th, she has, yes; 11th March.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will write her in there.  What about
    30        Mr. Brett and Mr. Logan and Mr. Olive?  Can they be put in
    31        next week?
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  One of the problems with Mr. Logan is that we were
    34        hoping to have copies of the transcripts because I did not
    35        make any notes.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Logan has given his evidence-in-chief, as
    38        I recall, has he not?
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  That is correct.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We broke off rather than start Mr. Rampton's
    43        cross-examination.
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  So you do not need transcripts to recall
    48        Mr. Logan.
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:   Except that if Mr. Rampton starts saying, "You said 
    51        such and such", and what have you, then we do not know 
    52        because we -- neither of us have made a note. 
    53
    54   MR. RAMPTON:  If I do that, I will do what I told your Lordship
    55        I would do, which is to distribute copies of the complete
    56        transcripts of the evidence-in-chief to everybody, if I do
    57        that.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is a novel suggestion, to my mind, that
    60        there is any difficulty about proceeding to
 
                                      46
