Day 273 - 03 Jul 96 - Page 31
1 McDonald's and through their respective solicitors Veggies
2 Limited and Greenpeace London engaged in the mutual sharing
3 of advice and information concerning the issues raised and
4 the implications of the "correction and apology" that had
5 been negotiated".
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Now, I suggest you just leave that there.
8 It is put very tersely.
9
10 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is what you were trying to ask about
13 earlier.
14
15 MR. MORRIS: Right. Okay. "Since 1986"; is that correct?
16 A. Yes, that again would be 8... That must be 88 actually
17 if it is speaking of the fact sheet as amended, since.
18 That would have been 88.
19
20 Q. Right. "So in 1988 Veggies Limited, since 1988, Veggies
21 Limited has continued to publish the same fact sheets
22 amended only in respect of the issues covered by the
23 "correction and apology", and have offered advice to other
24 groups and individuals on the agreement made whilst drawing
25 the implication that the issues not addressed in the
26 agreements had not been contested by McDonald's. Since
27 that time Veggies Limited have received no further
28 communication from McDonald's or their agents to indicate
29 that they have any further concern about the information
30 distributed by Veggies Limited."
31
32 Then it says, "Patrick Smith for Veggies Limited, 21st
33 October 1993", and is that your signature?
34 A. That is right, yes.
35
36 Q. And you stand by that. Do you stand by that statement?
37 A. Yes, I do.
38
39 Q. The, when you reprinted the fact sheet, the Veggies version
40 of the London Greenpeace fact sheet in 1988, what format
41 did it have?
42 A. It was a similar two sheets of A3 paper folded
43 together.
44
45 Q. And so the one that we have?
46 A. The same formats as the one you have.
47
48 Q. As the one continued but--
49 A. There would have been two changes on what is, in
50 effect, the centre page of the folded sheets.
51
52 Q. The centre page?
53 A. It is the one that has the "15 acres a minute" box in
54 the top.
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Well, I do not think you need go through the
57 changes because I can compare them and, in fact, I have
58 been taken through them altogether. I think all Mr. Morris
59 is asking at the moment, it was presented in the same
60 physical form as you looked at?
