     1        extract what I do think is important.

     3   MR. MORRIS:   Right.  Just to say that Mr. Secrett does deal
     4        with Costa Rica, amongst other matters; and, like
     5        Mr. Carriere, he has a clear authority and expertise on the
     6        subject.  (Pause)
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:   I have virtually finished.  I do not want to
     9        embarrass the court by sitting here for five minutes,
    10        trying to think.  Effectively, I have finished with
    11        Costa Rica.  There may be a few points -----
    12
    13   MR JUSTICE BELL:  You can pick them up in the morning.  What is
    14        the plan from now on?   You are going to deal with
    15        Guatemala.  We have less on Guatemala than either of the
    16        other two countries.
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:   Yes.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  And then what is -----
    21
    22   MR. MORRIS:   There is the soya issue, which should not take
    23        long, because it has been canvassed in quite a lot of
    24        detail as a submission in previous hearings, when we were
    25        applying for documentation ---
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Yes.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  -- and it is a very, kind of, discrete issue.
    30        There is also the methane point, which will not take more
    31        than 10 minutes.  So that there is not, actually, very much
    32         -- maybe an hour, hour and a half.
    33
    34        Helen wants to start on the next issue.  Well, she is
    35        preparing to start on the next issue.  I do not know if she
    36        is going to be ready tomorrow to do that.
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:   I have got various references.  I was intending to
    39        start on the animal section, and I have got various
    40        references from transcripts, but they are not in order yet
    41        and I have not finished typing up all the references.
    42
    43   MR JUSTICE BELL:  Are you going to give them to me in a word
    44        processed form?
    45
    46   MS. STEEL:   That is what I am trying to sort out, yes, and
    47        I hope that I will be able to do that.  The other thing is,
    48        also, that before I start on the meaning of that section of
    49        the leaflet, I would actually quite appreciate being able
    50        to get legal advice.  We have got a provisional arrangement 
    51        to meet somebody at the weekend to discuss various legal 
    52        matters.  So, I could spend some of that time discussing 
    53        that; and I think it would go a bit more smoothly if I was
    54        to start on Monday.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, if you tell me that the result of that
    57        is that you will give me word processed material with a
    58        view to going more quickly, then I do not mind doing that.
    59        I think you and Mr. Morris should make sure that you have
    60        got some idea of scheduling within the time available, so
