2 Q. You then at the bottom of that paragraph say, "There was no
3 sign of anyone being served with anything, neither was
4 anyone waiting to do so." So, the situation here was that
5 you had been told that writs were going to be served on
6 people at this meeting?
7 A. No, not at that time.
8
9 Q. You had -----
10 A. It was a possibility that that is what the people were
11 there for. I thought they were police as well.
12
13 Q. You thought they were police as well?
14 A. I thought there was a possibility that they were police
15 also, yes.
16
17 Q. Right. Policemen do not generally serve things, do they?
18 I mean, I do not know, maybe they do.
19 A. I thought they did.
20
21 Q. Pardon?
22 A. I thought they did.
23
24 Q. OK. Are you saying here that you did not know that writs
25 were, or anything was about to be served on us in
26 connection with your investigation?
27 A. Not at that meeting, no.
28
29 Q. Right. You have said in your statement, and it is in your
30 notes, that I was organising the printing of leaflets for
31 the Greenpeace fayre. If I was to say to you that I was
32 actually organising the printing of IMF leaflets and you
33 got your wires crossed, would you accept that?
34 A. That there was a possibility that I might have made a
35 mistake, you mean?
36
37 Q. Yes.
38 A. There is always a possibility of being mistaken.
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What do you think about this case? Do you
41 think you might have been mistaken in this case?
42 A. I do not know which part of the notes we are referring
43 to.
44
45 Q. Refer him to the part of the statement you have in mind.
46
47 MS. STEEL: OK. The notes, if we look at the notes -- it is on
48 page 2 of the notes of 20th September.
49 A. Whereabouts is that?
50
51 Q. Sorry, the first paragraph.
52 A. Yes.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just towards the end of the first section of
55 the first paragraph.
56 A. Yes, I see. No, if I had said it like that, then I
57 would have believed at the time that you were doing what
58 I said.
59
60 MS. STEEL: But you were doing this from memory afterwards?
