     3   MR. RAMPTON:  That is right.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  We did get them; it is just that I do not have it
     6        in the court file, but Helen has a copy.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Very well.

    10   MR. RAMPTON (To the witness):  The first blob on table,
    11        Mr. Kenny, is a number of different things that have been
    12        observed or not observed.  One of the columns says
    13        "Combined bone chips/cartilage".  Do you see?
    14        A.  Yes.
    15
    16   Q.   Can you tell us a little about the manufacturing process?
    17        Is the chicken McSandwich made in a different way from the
    18        McNuggets?
    19        A.  Yes, it is.  The raw meat -- the first table here
    20        refers to the raw meat section.  That is similar for both
    21        the sandwich and the Nugget on the breast meat side.
    22
    23   Q.   Is this after deboning that this inspection takes place?
    24        A.  That is right, yes.
    25
    26   Q.   So that is why they have a column for finding bones and
    27        cartilages?
    28        A.  Yes.  The deboning is done in a discrete factory.  When
    29        it is passed across to the further processing factory, they
    30        then inspect the meat.
    31
    32   Q.   And they found -- "GR" is what?
    33        A.  "GR is" short for Grandstand Road which is the facility
    34        at Hereford in Sun Valley.
    35
    36   Q.   Then they have light, dark skin, and they found, it
    37        appears, four bits of chipped bone or cartilage in the dark
    38        meat --- which is the thigh meat, is it not?
    39        A.  That is right, yes.
    40
    41   Q.   -- on this occasion.  What would you expect them to do
    42        about that?
    43        A.  They would reinspect the product.  Under the category
    44        of over half an inch bone, any bones over a half an inch,
    45        there is an automatic rejection of that and that will then
    46        go back to Grandstand Road.
    47
    48   Q.   That is what "over half bone" and "under half bone" means,
    49        is it?
    50        A.  Yes, so anything found in the over half bone column 
    51        would automatically mean that the meat is rejected back for 
    52        resorting. 
    53
    54   Q.   That particular system is out of order at the moment and it
    55        has been replaced by the French facility, I think, has it
    56        not?
    57        A.  That is right, yes.
    58
    59   Q.   I am not going to go through the French documents in any
    60        detail at the moment, at least, can you turn to 8A, keeping
