DAY 216
KEVIN HARRISON, Re-examined:
1
2 MR. MORRIS: There is no intention to call Mr. Gardner. That
3 should be a Civil Evidence Act notice.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: I shall object to that.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That can be dealt with when Mr. Morris comes
8 to read it.
9
10 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, beyond that, I do not think I have any
11 comment, except to say that the fewer witnesses that are
12 called to little or no purpose, the better, because the
13 sooner we shall get to the end of the case, which is
14 something which on this side of the court we are quite
15 enthusiastic about.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest you do is, if not before, if
18 you can use part of the time in the run-up to Mr. Cesca to
19 reduce what you would argue in relation to any of those
20 witnesses to writing, so that it can be served on the
21 Defendants in writing and a copy can be sent to me,
22 particularly, as I reread those statements, then I would be
23 grateful. We can set aside some time to have an argument
24 in relation to it if need be.
25
26 MR. RAMPTON: Yes. My Lord, I will do it sooner rather than
27 later, because at the moment the Defendants' rainforest
28 witnesses are scheduled to start on or about 7th March,
29 which is fast approaching. So I will do that, probably, at
30 the end of next week.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well. We will adjourn now and
33 start again with Mrs. Hovi at 10.30 on Friday morning.
