     1        with the Brazilian interrogatories or not?
     2
     3   MR. MORRIS:  I would prefer to deal with them tomorrow.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will put those over then for the moment.
     6
     7   MR. RAMPTON:  Well, my Lord, not perhaps tomorrow.  My Bath
     8        witnesses are here.  I understand your Lordship wanted to
     9        deal with these interlocutory things this morning, and we
    10        have dealt with some.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I had in mind -- because the only other
    13        matter I have on my list is the Furazolidone and Avo Parcin
    14        amendments.  I wanted to find out about Brazil because, if
    15        we are not dealing with Brazil today, we can go to the
    16        first of your witnesses almost as soon as we come back
    17        after the break.
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  Well, my Lord, as amendments, I have no objection
    20        to the Furazolidone, Avo Parcin amendments anyway, as
         amendments.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I give leave to amend in the terms of
    24        Mr. Morris's draft with regard to those.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  That leaves, I think, only really Brazil.  I have
    27        not stated my objections to Lynval.  That has no urgency
    28        about it at all; it can be done at any time.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We can come to that when we come to
    31        Mr. Lynval's statement being read.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Can I say something about this afternoon?  I was
    34        going to ask a question about obviously the large amount of
    35        documents we have got from Bath.  Do we need to put the
    36        contents of those documents to the Plaintiffs' witness, or
    37        is it OK just to put it to our witness, Mr. Logan?  That
    38        will save a great deal of time.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will deal with that when we come back.  The
         answer is, it really depends on how important the point
    42        which you are seeking to get from the document is.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  We are quite happy not to put it to the Plaintiffs'
    45        witness, if it saves time.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think, if it is an important point, the
    48        position is that you probably should put it.  But we will
    49        talk about that a little further at five past two.
    50 
    51                        (Luncheon Adjournment) 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  Mr. Henden is here.  Your Lordship, shall I go
    54        straight on to the other -----
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I think so.  All I would say about what
    57        Mr. Morris asked this morning, I suggest when you come to
    58        the first question where that query arises in your mind,
    59        then raise it.
