Day 163 - 25 Sep 95 - Page 15

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  Store hygiene might be the easiest thing.  There is
     2        a list -- I believe it was served last term; in fact, it
     3        might even have been brought up in cross-examination,
     4        I cannot remember now -- it should be contained in the list
     5        of documents served this morning.  The amendments were
     6        supplied to the Plaintiffs last week, Friday of last week.
     7        The documents relating to the proposed amendments should be
     8        the top documents now in your pile of documents after the
     9        handwritten .....
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, in fact, store hygiene is part of the
    12        food poisoning section of the case, is it not?
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  Basically, these are newspaper reports, this
    15        series of documents which were printouts, in fact, the
    16        whole printout was hundreds of pages, but the ones that
    17        were referenced to McDonald's were printed out.  I do not
    18        know what the Plaintiffs complaint was  -----
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did I have a copy of that?
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:  I cannot remember.  My vague recollection is that
    23        we gave it to the Plaintiffs and that you said you did not
    24        want it at the time.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what I thought because you were going
    27        to put some of the matters to Mr. Stein or were they -----
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  You have it in front of you this morning though?
    30        You have the document in front of you this morning.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Where is that?
    33
    34   MR. MORRIS:  I am sorry.  It should be the top -- no, it will be
    35        the -----
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have something with level 1, 15 of 170
    38        stores.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  That is the one.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Then that is in two parts, or I have a
    43        thinner -----
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  Actually, there should be three different
    46        documents.  The top two of them are about child labour
    47        violations, child labour law violations, and the third one
    48        should be this 15 of 170 storeys.  It has 8th March 1985 in
    49        the top left-hand corner.  I believe it is stapled so that
    50        should be the one that we are looking at.  I have not 
    51        numbered the pages, unfortunately, on this one.  So I am 
    52        just going to quickly number the pages so we know maybe 
    53        what we are talking about.  I make it nine pages.
    54
    55        The general situation, as we see it, is that the Plaintiffs
    56        have brought up the issue of food poisoning as one of the
    57        matters in dispute.  The nature of the product has been
    58        gone into to some extent -- to a significant extent.  There
    59        are other matters that could relate to food poisoning, such
    60        as additives and whatever, but the Plaintiffs have
