Day 279 - 12 Jul 96 - Page 03

     
     1        hear in due course in comment, but I need to put it
     2        somewhere.
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:  Can I just ask about No. 1?  I mean, obviously when
     5        we asked about the Plaintiff's interrogatories we were told
     6        that if they were to be taken as evidence they had to be, I
     7        don't know what, there was some formality that the
     8        plaintiffs had to apply for them to be taken as evidence.
     9        So I am just wondering about whether or not they should be
    10        there, bearing in mind the plaintiffs have not actually
    11        entered any such sort of formality.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I tell you the reason I have put them there.
    14        I have got them in the pleadings bundle, that is the
    15        interrogatory and the answer, and what I actually did, I
    16        have not looked back at it because I was handed a copy
    17        which was used when you were being cross-examined, I wrote
    18        on to the form of interrogatories the answers which had
    19        been given so that I had them all on one piece of paper.
    20        You need not concern yourself that they are there because I
         am taking them as evidence anyway, it is just convenient
    22        that when I come to consider your evidence, of which I will
    23        have a transcript by then, I know where to look for the
    24        interrogatories.
    25
    26   MS. STEEL:  It is just that Mr. Rampton did not ask me about the
    27        vast majority of them.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, I appreciate that.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  I quite agree.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are only of potential relevance insofar
    34        as you gave evidence on parts of them.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:  Right.  Okay.
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  That is right.  My Lord, can I make a suggestion
    39        for the San Francisco Sunday Examiner, I don't know how fat
    40        pink 16 is but that is the rainforest file and the latest
         tab in Mrs Brinley-Codd's index, which is normally up to
    42        date, is 18.  I tentatively suggest it might go in as 19 at
    43        the back of that file.  I see, I am sorry, that is an
    44        out-of-date index.  It would have to be 20, my Lord,
    45        because 19 is our list of US beef suppliers.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Unless there is any comment about that that
    48        would seem sensible.
    49
    50   MR. MORRIS:  For the IMF and McLibel support campaign material,
    51        Helen does not mind that going behind her statement.  The
    52        2.123 IMF and McLibel support campaign material.
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I have suggested is that they go at the
    55        back of pink 1C purely because that has got a number of
    56        leaflets, call them what you will, of one kind or another.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Pink 1C.  Okay.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And we had got up to -- 227, was the
