Examination of Witnesses (Questions 4080
- 4099)
4080. CHAIRMAN: Mr Horton, we are not
going to ask you to do anything about this today. You will have
an opportunity, because the arguments are being adopted, are they
not, by your client, tomorrow?
4081. MR HORTON: Exactly so, yes.
4082. CHAIRMAN: Therefore you will have
an opportunity at the end of the proceedings tomorrow to address
us about this, and you are now on notice about what the Promoters'
points are.
4083. MR HORTON: Exactly. It is very
helpful and I am grateful. Thank you very much my Lords and my
Lady.
4084. CHAIRMAN: I think that is as far
as we can take this one today, is it not?
4085. MR ELVIN: My Lords, in which case
I think Professor Mair and Mr Mould are sitting outside in the
corridor.
4086. CHAIRMAN: Poor things, yes.
4087. MR ELVIN: I was rather inclined
to think your Lordships were the poor things, having to endure
legal submissions on European environmental law, rather than sit
in the corridor!
4088. CHAIRMAN: No, we love every minute
of it!
4089. MR ELVIN: I am pleased to hear
that. I noticed the enthusiasm with which you announced the coffee
break! Can I check whether we are ready to proceed with Professor
Mair now?
4090. CHAIRMAN: Would you like to do
that because I think we must get on.
4091. Mr Elvin, I would be quite interested
in seeing a copy of the Durham case in the Court of Appeal.
4092. MR ELVIN: My Lord, I will provide
that tomorrow; in fact I will email it to Mr Hackett.

MOULD
4093. CHAIRMAN: Professor Mair, you need
no introduction. I am sorry you had to wait so long. Go ahead,
Mr Mould.
Spitalfields—Settlement Issues
4094. MR MOULD: Thank you very much,
my Lord. Professor Mair, we heard yesterday from Mr Wheeler, as
you know, and what I would like to do first of all, if we may,
is just briefly to reset the scene as regards—
4095. CHAIRMAN: Is Mr Wheeler here?
4096. MR MOULD: He is not here. He was
well aware that Professor Mair was going to be giving evidence
today.
4097. CHAIRMAN: Is anybody as part of
Mr Wheeler's team here?
4098. MR MOULD: I notice that Mr Carpenter
was—
4099. CHAIRMAN: I am not going to allow
any time to go by; somebody had better take a note of what happens
for Mr Wheeler's benefit.
