2 MR. MORRIS: It was X2 in our supplementary list for packaging.
3 If you remember, I think we had X1 to 12 or something.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Does that mean it is one of your blue
6 volumes?
7
8 MR. MORRIS: I do not know where that served supplementary list
9 was put; it was served on all parties.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am not sure whether -----
12
13 MR. MORRIS: I think it was when we questioned Mr. Preston. It
14 was not our packaging supplementary list, but it must have
15 been documents served when we questioned Mr. Preston.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The problem at the moment is identifying it
18 or finding where it is so that not only you and Professor
19 Ashworth have a copy but the rest of us do too.
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Yes. It was served at the same time as the Keep
22 Britain Tidy "Litter and The Law" document which we served
23 in this case.
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What I suggest is -- Mr. Rampton has a copy,

27
28 MR. RAMPTON: I do now, my Lord, yes. I do not know whose copy

31 MR. MORRIS: That is the witness's copy. I have a spare copy of
32 the front sheet. As far as I am concerned, I served it on

34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: But when? Do you mean you handed it to me on
36 one day in court?
37
38 MR. MORRIS: It was served with the original service of this
39 document.
40
41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, I did not see that until Mr. Rampton put
42 it to Mr. Stump.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: No, we put this to Mr. Preston. All the Tidy
45 Britain Group -----

47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I do not think I had a copy.
48
49 MR. MORRIS: This is part of the problem. Our documents do not
50 seem to be finding their way into the indexes or into
51 proper filing. I have suggested a way of dealing with this
52 but nobody seems to listen.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: One way you could deal with it is to have a
55 ring binder yourself into which you put and index documents
56 which you produce. If McDonald's solicitors choose to
57 bundle them and it has indexed them for you, well and good,
58 but if they do not do that, if they are documents which you
59 have produced you are responsible for them. It is not as
