Day 245 - 07 May 96 - Page 32
1 Q. Were you not interested in it?
2 A. I was very interested in it.
3
4 Q. So why did you not asked to be kept informed?
5 A. It was his project to deal with. He had been given his
6 assignment. I reiterated, and I will reiterate again for
7 you, I gave one instruction and one alone: Make sure it is
8 legal and proper. That is it.
9
10 Q. The next paragraph goes on to say:
11
12 "These 2 individuals have chosen to defend the leaflet and
13 contrary to their claims that they are not actively
14 involved, they have for many years taken leading roles in a
15 consistent campaign against McDonald's including
16 responsibility for organising demonstrations and
17 anti-McDonald's fares."
18
19 Now, I think that that is a response to some of the
20 leaflets which have gone out which stated that it is not
21 McDonald's case that we wrote or printed the leaflet, just
22 that we distributed it on a few specific occasions. The
23 case has changed since then, but I believe that is what
24 that is a reply to; is that correct?
25 A. I am not sure what it is in totality in reply to.
26 There is no question in my mind that you two were involved
27 in it. That is what it speaks to.
28
29 Q. What evidence do you personally have that we had a leading
30 role in the campaign, in a consistent campaign, against
31 McDonald's?
32 A. Well, I know what has come out in evidence so far.
33 I have been in court watching you defend. I have watched
34 you in front of our office place participate in
35 demonstrations and give out leaflets, I forget which one of
36 you it was, I think Mr. Morris, but I have certainly seen
37 it happen.
38
39 Q. Yes, but we are talking about leading roles?
40 A. Well ----
41
42 Q. For many years and the implication of this seeing as the
43 other leaflets were referring to prior to the case
44 starting. The implication is that we had leading roles
45 before the writs were served on us?
46 A. I cannot give you an exact date here and now but there
47 is no question in my mind both of you are intimately
48 involved.
49
50 Q. Is there a question in your mind as to whether we had
51 leading roles?
52 A. No question at all.
53
54 Q. There is no question. What evidence do you base that on?
55 A. I think that will come out in subsequent testimony.
56
57 Q. Do you have any evidence or not?
58 A. I believe we do.
59
60 Q. You personally?
