     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It does not matter.  We are concerned with a
     3        particular instance and I have ruled on that.  Do not be
     4        distracted by procedural arguments; it is what is left in
     5        her statement which I want to hear and it is only that
     6        which you can help me in any event, so I would invite you
     7        to call Miss Link and take her through the parts of her two
     8        statements which are relevant.
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  We would like to call our expert witness.
    11
    12                         ANNE LINK, affirmed
    13                       Examined by the Defendants
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you want to sit down, Miss Link, at all,
    16        pull that chair forward to the front of the witness box.
    17        A.  OK.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  Can you give the court your full name and your
    20        address at the Womens Environmental Network?
         A.  It is Anne Link, Women's Environmental Network,
    22        Aberdeen Studios, 22 Highbury Grove, London N5 2EA.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Keep your voice up, please.
    25        A.  Sorry, I assumed this was on -- is this on?
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, it does not help; it merely puts it on the
    28        tape.  It does not magnify your voice at all.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  You are currently in what position in the Women's
    31        Environmental Network?
    32        A.  I am a Science Coordinator.
    33
    34   Q.   It would help if you can get your statements out.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you do it, Mr. Riley, please?  It is pale
    37        blue 1B.  There is a divider C there, Miss Link.  Then
    38        there is C5.  Do you have that?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    MR. MORRIS:  This is a statement, is it, that you wrote on 9th
    42        February 1995?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   Do speak up so we can hear you.
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   Q.   Right.  I will read it through.  If there is anything which
    49        is incorrect or needs clarification or updating, please
    50        stop me at the end of a sentence and say so. 
    51 
    52        Reading from the statement: 
    53
    54        "I have worked at Women's Environmental Network (WEN) for
    55        six years.  I was involved" and presumably that is now
    56         ------
    57        A.  Seven now, yes.
    58
    59   Q.   "I was involved in WEN's 1989 Campaign for Unbleached
    60        Paper.  I am co-author of UK Papermills:  Environmental
