Day 275 - 08 Jul 96 - Page 09

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All I need to know is that you have got no
     2        objection and there is no suggestion that they would
     3        immediately become discoverable documents as a result of
     4        being used.
     5
     6   MR. RAMPTON:   No.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, you can be reassured about that.
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:   The other thing is, is it possible for me to take
    11        up my copy of my statement, because I have made notes on
    12        it?
    13
    14   MR. RAMPTON:  Again, I think that is entirely sensible.  Also if
    15        Miss Steel has got her own copy of the agent's note that
    16        she has marked perhaps, again, it would be sensible for her
    17        to use those just as her counsel would.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest--
    20
    MS. STEEL:  I have also got the photographs.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Take into the witness box with you now that
    24        which you think you will need.  I might have to ask you,
    25        Mr. Riley, if you could sit up near the table for as much
    26        as possible of Miss Steel's evidence so that you can get
    27        out her bundles for her.  If you have got to leave court to
    28        do something else then obviously you have got to do it, but
    29        I would be grateful if you could do that.  If you need
    30        anything from your row it is probably best if you come down
    31        and get it yourself.
    32
    33   MS. STEEL:  Yes, okay.  Right.  I will take up my photographs as
    34        well.
    35
    36                         HELEN STEEL affirmed
    37                    Evidence given on own behalf
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Would you like to give me your full name and
    40        address, which is known because it is in all the
         correspondence?
    42        A.  Helen Marie Steel, ****************, ******, *******.
    43
    44   Q.   I am going to tell you what I have got then it is up to you
    45        to present your evidence in your own way, but in your
    46        section of pale blue 1C I have got the notes in your own
    47        handwriting dated 7th July, which were further points to be
    48        given in evidence by the defendants and their witnesses?
    49        A.  Yes.
    50
    51   Q.   I have then got typed out further points to be raised by
    52        defence publication witnesses in response to the testimony
    53        of the Plaintiff's publication witnesses?
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   Q.   I have then got a statement made by you signed on page 8
    57        and dated 12th July 1993 and then, behind that, I have put
    58        my copy of your affidavit sworn on 8th March 1996, which
    59        related to the Plaintiff's application to reamend their
    60        statement of claim and was directed at the affidavit which
