Day 250 - 15 May 96 - Page 22

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is there a date on that letter?
     2
     3   MS. STEEL:   There is not a date on it, although the page behind
     4        it there is a typed letter from the Philadelphia
     5        Unemployment Project dated May 15th, 1990, addressed to
     6        Greenpeace London.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  That is from Bill Davidson who, you may recall,
     9        became a witness in the case under a Civil Evidence Act
    10        notice.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If there was a date on it, I wanted to know
    13        for my note.  That is all.
    14
    15   MS. STEEL:   Right.  I cannot see a date on the one before.
    16        Behind that letter from the Philadelphia Unemployment
    17        Project is the Wage Abuse in the Fast-food Industry Study
    18        and all the press cuttings related to that.  If I just hand
    19        that up to the witness.
    20
    MR. RAMPTON:  I think I would like to see it first, if I may, my
    22        Lord.
    23
    24   MS. STEEL:   It was all disclosed by the Plaintiffs, so they
    25        have seen it.
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  Perhaps I have seen it, but that was a long time
    28        ago.  (Handed).  Thank you.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let Mr. Nicholson see it.  (Handed to the
    31        witness).
    32
    33   MS. STEEL:   If you just have a look through all the letters
    34        that are there.  I do not mean read them all, but if you
    35        have a flick through.
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   Are you familiar with those documents or do you not
    39        remember?
    40        A.  No, I do not remember.  I can only remember one
         occasion when I was advised -- I mean, Mrs. Brinley-Codd
    42        and I discussed the fact that one of the agents sent
    43        through some letters and I said that is not to be done.
    44        And, to my knowledge, Mrs. Brinley-Codd phoned the agency
    45        up and told them that, but whether these are those letters
    46        or not I cannot say, it is years ago.
    47
    48   Q.   You said that was Kings Investigation Bureau?
    49        A.  I thought it was.
    50 
    51   Q.   I mean, we have letters which were taken by Mr. Bishop 
    52        which are attached behind his statement as well? 
    53        A.  You will have to remind me.  I do not know these
    54        people, you see.  Who is Bishop?
    55
    56   Q.   Brian Bishop.  The thing is, we do not know which company
    57        they are from.  I do not know whether the Plaintiffs can
    58        tell us which company each of them were from.  We know for
    59        some of them, but -----
