Day 035 - 12 Oct 94 - Page 07
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us leave it there. I do not know
2 whether this will turn out to be a matter of importance or
3 total insignificance at the end of the day.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: I should say, my Lord, what I would do as I would
6 with a document is, except one has this advantage with a
7 video that there are images, I would say to Dr. Barnard:
8 "Is that you? Is that what you said?"
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, and he can say "yes" or "no". If he
11 says "yes", he can give any explanation which he wishes.
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: That is right.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: In fairness to himself. By the time you
16 come to re-examination, you will have seen the whole and
17 you can put any other part to him or ask me to look at any
18 other part.
19
20 MS. STEEL: OK.

26 MR. MORRIS: The quotes that are in the bundle are different
27 from the ones that were on the video. Just so that can be
28 noted.

30 MS. STEEL: So this piece of paper is not taken as the accurate

36 make corrections.
37
38 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, what we thought we might do, if your
39 Lordship would find it helpful, we have not had time to do
40 it yet ----
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is not something I recall looking at.
43
44 MR. RAMPTON: I have not asked your Lordship to look at that.
45 I did not ask the witness to look at it either because
46 I was not sure it was accurate. I agree with Ms. Steel
47 that it is not 100 per cent the same as what actually was
48 said on the television. If it would help your Lordship in
49 due course, we will have this programme transcribed.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us see where we get to. Would you like

57 MR. RAMPTON: Dr. Barnard, you remember I asked you yesterday
58 whether you remembered appearing on a Cable Television
59 programme in South Carolina in October 1991, and you
60 replied that you did not remember doing so. Do you do
