Good idea. Huge bundles, thousands of pages to which no one refers. Is the judge pre trial trequired to read them all, or ask counsel to read them to her? When I started counsel read the affidavits to the judge. It was the evidence in the case.

It's the photocopier as a substitute for thought. The hope something will turn up. The failure of solicitors to get an advice on evidence. The lack of time for judges to compel parties to get to the real issues and stick to them. The fear of solicitors of being sued because the (irrelevant ) 1995 bank statements weren't in evidence. Etc etc.

Why are the documents hardly ever referred to in the witness statements (maybe this should be a requirement by reference to the document and page numbers and not as a generality? "I produce 4000 documents" is a not on.)
