1 inadmissible because of your previous ruling, to be stopped

3
4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I would rather not do that because I do not
5 want to stop you asking a question in cross-examination
6 which is legitimate. Anyway, do your best and see what
7 happens.
8
9 MR. MORRIS: Right.

11 Professor Donald Naismith, Recalled:
12 Cross-examined by the Defendants, Continued:
13
14 MR. MORRIS: Professor Naismith, there is one other document I
15 would like you to look at. It was, if someone can help the
16 witness, behind Dr. Barns. It was that executive summary
17 by the World Health Organisation of their report, of the
18 study report. Diet Prevention, Diet nutrition and
19 Prevention of Chronic Diseases, Executive Summary.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is on the very top, Professor Naismith,
22 volume 1A. That is it. I have a divider 11 which is the
23 supplementary statement of Dr. Neil Barnard. Can you find
24 divider 11 in the side?
25 A. Yes, I have found it.

42 MR. MORRIS: On page (iii). There is the last paragraph on that
43 page and the previous sentence.
44
45 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Borrow mine. There are some markings on mine
46 but they are only lines in the margin (Handed).
47
48 MR. MORRIS: Right. This is the Executive Summary of the World
49 Health Organisation.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, is the witness short of a copy because he
52 can borrow mine?
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, he has my copy and I will look at it when
55 it comes back.
56
57 MR. RAMPTON: When Mr. Morris says "(ii)" does he mean Arabic
58 III?
59
60 MR. MORRIS: "III". I want to improve my understanding of the
