Day 044 - 02 Nov 94 - Page 50
1 was ever used again?
2 A. I do not remember the wording. So, I am sorry,
3 I cannot answer that.
4
5 Q. Do you know anything about the Australian Trades Practices
6 Commission -- the second paragraph?
7 A. No, I do not.
8
9 Q. It is my recollection that this paragraph has been
10 admitted. But it was incorrect to say that the packaging
11 was ozone friendly?
12 A. For example, the next one, the one for the United
13 Kingdom, I heard John Hawkes talk about that, in fact, it
14 did happen. But before that time period, I was not aware
15 of it. I am not aware of Australian Trade Practices
16 Commission.
17
18 Q. So you have not heard about that 1989 Australian Trade
19 Practices Commission decision?
20 A. That is correct.
21
22 MR. MORRIS: I cannot remember whether these documents have
23 been promised or looked for, relevant to the Australian
24 Trade Practices Commission-----
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Might I make a suggestion? We have at some
27 stage got to deal with some further discovery. It has not
28 slipped out of my mind. You want to ask for discovery (if
29 they exist) of statistics with regard to employee
30 accidents, for instance. What I suggest is, if you think
31 there is incomplete discovery on any of these points, you
32 raise them then. This witness has said he does not know.
33
34 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
35
36 MR. JUSTICE BELL: For myself, unless he knows something
37 particular about it, I find it difficult to see how
38 cross-examination on it is going to really bring anything
39 out.
40
41 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness) If this paragraph was true, would
42 that be the sort of thing that the Australian
43 representative at your international marketing conference
44 would inform the rest of McDonald's sections about, who may
45 be considering of course running further ads on that
46 theme? The theme of HCFCs replacing CFCs was a pretty
47 international thing, was it not?
48 A. Yes. It probably would have been much more appropriate
49 in some other part of the company, or aspect of the
50 company. Most of the time, when we talk at international
51 meetings, it is about promotions or activities within that
52 country that would be pertinent to other countries.
53
54 I do not remember this discussion. I was not at a
55 marketing conference where there was any discussion that
56 I can remember about this particular issue.
57
58 Q. This would affect, though, all the other sections, country
59 sections?
60 A. It certainly would affect Australian.
