     1        or, perhaps, from the McLibel support campaign, because the
     2        McLibel support campaign's only possible source for the
     3        transcript is the Defendants.

     5        If they succeeded in doing that and they also undertook to
     6        keep the transcripts to themselves and they convinced us of
     7        both of those propositions, why, then, of course, we would
     8        reconsider the position.
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  We will come back in the morning but I do not see
    11        why the Plaintiffs are so concerned to prevent the public
    12        hearing some of the evidence in the case.  Surely, that is
    13        the whole point of fighting the case in the first place.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have told you, I am just not prepared to
    16        give any indication of view of what is an argument between
    17        you on the one side and McDonald's on the other.  I do not
    18        think it is appropriate that I should express a view one
    19        way or the other.
    20
    21        If you say that I have a power to direct McDonald's to do
    22        something with the transcript, then you must tell me what
    23        the power is.  If you say that there is some kind of fund
    24        which can provide the transcript for you, you must direct
    25        me towards that.  Quite apart from any matters such as
    26        that, I do genuinely want you to tell me what your view is
    27        if you do not get it as to whether I should have it.  Do
    28        you understand?  10.30.
    29
    30        I would like to hand Mrs. Brinley-Codd's copy of the
    31        counterclaim pleadings and my own so that you can see what
    32        I have and have not got.
