     1        must close.
     2
     3   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not worry about that, but you have to take
     6        that step to protect yourself against any risk of running
     7        out of time.
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  Can I ask one thing on the question that you raise
    10        there about the evidence closing?  That at the end of all
    11        the evidence, we be given some time to actually go over
    12        checking that we have actually read out all of the Civil
    13        Evidence Act matters, that we have called all our
    14        witnesses, because although I believe we have done pretty
    15        well an efficient scheduling over this trial, I am
    16        concerned that it has been largely chaotic behind the
    17        scenes.  So we be given some time to `clean our house' up
    18        at the very end.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would not have thought that would take very
    21        long because what you have to do -- you need not worry
    22        about your Civil Evidence Act witnesses because they do not
    23        have to be read.  If you put a valid notice on them,
    24        I think it is probably safer if you actually list them as I
    25        have asked before, but I would not have thought that would
    26        take a very long time.
    27
    28        The other question is if you have you forgotten to call
    29        someone if they are available to be called, I would that
    30        thought that could be checked very quickly by looking
    31        through the indexes to the pale blue bundles of any names
    32        which have been added on.  In my pale blue bundles I have
    33        added the names of witnesses as you have served their
    34        statement.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:  I do not know whether it is possible to borrow your
    37        index because ours are not up to date?
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If need be, Mr. Glen will make a photocopy of
    40        them.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   Thank you.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  There was something, while we are on that subject,
    45        and we are not under extreme pressure here, but you said
    46        something before which I did not quite understand about, at
    47        the end we will be asked something about when we are in the
    48        witness box, or something:  "Is there anybody further we
    49        wish to call?" I did not understand.  You mentioned that
    50        before, in terms of the process at the end, when we 
    51        actually called ourselves. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I do not think this is any more than a
    54        formality.  At a time when it appears that all the evidence
    55        has been called on both sides, or it appears to me that it
    56        has, since the plan is that you and Ms. Steel shall give
    57        your evidence, effectively last, if you decide to give
    58        evidence, I will ask Ms. Steel:  "Do you wish to give
    59        evidence?" And if she says:  "Yes", then she will go to the
    60        witness box and give her evidence.  When she has completed
