THE               I would like to see the officer’s notebooks, please, Mr
                 RECORDER:         Pottinger, and I’d like them handed to the clerk, the
                                   original ones, so that I can view them and they will be
                                   returned in due course.
                 MR                What — what he gave me was — was in fact the same
                 POTTINGER:   statement you have.
                 THE               Right. He said - he referred to some — there was - as
                 RECORDER:         though there was a date-stamp on the back of
                                   something.
                 MR                There’s a — that’s the
                 POTTINGER:
                 THE               Can I see that now? That’ll be fine.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                Yes, certainly.
                 POTTINGER:
                 THE               Thank you very much.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                I just mention matters outside — I think there was a --
                 POTTINGER:   the fixed penalty notice, the original fixed penalty
                                   notice, isn’t in the file and I’m afraid that is what
                                   happens these days. In the old d
                 THE               Yes.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                the original file would come through on appeal. The
                 POTTINGER:   way the system works now, you do
                 THE               No, no. I — I understand. I understand.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                And I can only
                 POTTINGER:
                 THE               No, no. It’s not your fault at all.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                It may be on the back of that, the original handwritten
                 POTTINGER:

                 THE               One of the problems with non-paper cases is that very
                 RECORDER:         often it’s the paper that shows where things have gone
                                   wrong and
                 MR                Yes. No, I
                 POTTINGER:
               31
               247,
                 A                 And that’s the problem in this case. Well, I won’t take
                                   it any further but may I tell you now that I’m very
                                   unhappy with this officer’s evidence.
                 THE               I’ll pass that on.
                 RECORDER:
                 MR                I say “I” - we.
