Day 143 - 27 Jun 95 - Page 04


     
     1
     2   MR. MORRIS:  This one is from the representative of the
     3        McDonald's employees in Norway.  Mr. Stein said he did not
     4        have any personal knowledge.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  If he wants to look at it, in case there are any
     9        questions tomorrow on it.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will leave that with Mr. Rampton.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  The next one is something that we only got about
    14        three days ago which actually has a different fax date on
    15        it, but this is not a statement.  This is a printout of
    16        food violations in US McDonald's restaurants.  I did not
    17        manage to get any more statements to serve today.
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I have not looked at the Norwegian
    20        document.  I am a little concerned that, as ever, it is
    21        produced after the witness has finished his
    22        evidence-in-chief or during cross-examination.
    23        Fortunately, he knows nothing about Norway, so perhaps it
    24        is does not matter.
    25
    26        I am rather more concerned about this new document -- I
    27        have not looked at it -- that food violations, alleged food
    28        violations, should be introduced at this stage, or sought
    29        to be introduced at this stage, when all my food safety
    30        witnesses have been and gone is, in my submission, quite
    31        wrong and I would ask your Lordship to reject this
    32        document.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will deal with that next week as one of the
    35        matters in the interlocutory.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  This only came into our hands in the last two or
    38        three days.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, we will have a proper argument about it
    41        when we are arguing about a number of procedural matters
    42        next week; by then I will have read it.  I propose to
    43        extend, unless you have anything to say, the same facility
    44        to Mr. Rampton, Mr. Atkinson or Barlows with regard to
    45        talking to Mr. Stein in relation to Mr. Jenson's statement,
    46        if they wish, in the course of any adjournment.
    47
    48                 MR. STANLEY RICHARD STEIN, recalled.
    49             Cross-Examined by the Defendants, continued.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  Mr. Stein, while we are on the subject of 
    52        Philadelphia, there is one thing -- I do not know where it 
    53        has been put; is it our Civil Evidence Act notice --
    54        Mr. Davidson who did this survey, could you just have a
    55        look at that document?
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is in pale blue II, please, and
    58        section -- it is right at the back of that volume.  Before
    59        divider C there should be a statement of a Mr. Duncan or,
    60        rather, a letter to Mr. Morris from Mr. Duncan.
