Day 045 - 03 Nov 94 - Page 40

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, Ms. Steel is on her feet.
     2
     3   MR. MORRIS:  We want to bring that up first, because it does
     4        relate directly to that, and we might as well get that.
     5        I cannot find it now.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does it have to come before Ms. Steel's
     8        point?
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  It is part of the same point.  It is number 5
    11        of the documents behind the Sue Dibb document.
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:  (To the witness) If you can leave that open?
    14        A.  Where would I find what you are asking me to look for?
    15
    16   MS. STEEL:   The pale blue volume.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, here we are again, I am afraid.  This
    19        looks to me as though it is just a newspaper article.
    20        I say no more than that at this stage.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just look at the document, first of all.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  I do not know which tab it is.
    25
    26   MS. STEEL:  Behind Sue Dibb there should be an index.
    27        A.  Yes.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  Do you have the document number 5 in front of you?
    30        This is from -- it says "Chicago magazine".  It has not got
    31        on it.  This actually is "Advertising Age", I think it is.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  I am sorry, my Lord.  If there is a question to be
    34        asked, let it be asked.  This is an inadmissible document.
    35        It is a newspaper article.  It is not written by McDonald's
    36        or by Mr. Green.  So far as I know, there is no witness
    37        coming to court to prove any fact that might be asserted in
    38        it.  If Mr. Morris has a question, let him put to
    39        Mr. Green; if he does not accept the answer, then let
    40        him draw Mr. Green's attention to the document to see if
         Mr. Green wishes to change his answer.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  If we just read the first five paragraphs?
    44
    45   MR. RAMPTON:  No, that is not the right way to do it.
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  Are we not allowed to even ask the witness to read
    48        the document now?
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, you can, but just ask him to look at it. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  That is what I said. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Is it on the right or on the left?  I accept
    55        when you said "read", you meant "read to yourself", but
    56        make it absolutely clear.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:  It would help if Mr. Rampton just stopped making
    59        unnecessary interruptions.  He did ask him just to read it.
