     1        the equation.

     3   MS. STEEL:  At the moment there is no evidence that we
     4        circulated the leaflet at appendix 1 and I am asking this
     5        witness if he has any evidence.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is not right to ask a witness what
     8        evidence his company has got.
     9
    10   MS. STEEL:  I am asking him what he has got.  I want to know
    11        what he personally has got.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, ask that but as long as you appreciate
    14        that may or may not be the end of the question, but that is
    15        a matter of argument later.
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:  If McDonald's have evidence that we distributed the
    18        leaflets by evidence from other witnesses, then they can
    19        call those witnesses and we will hear that evidence and
    20        test it but I am asking this specific witness about what
    21        evidence he personally has.
    22
    23        If you could tell us which leaflets you personally have
    24        seen us distributing?
    25        A.  I have not seen you distribute any personally.
    26
    27   Q.   Thank you.  In the second sentence, which period are you
    28        talking about, "throughout this period I was regularly
    29        informed of developments"?
    30        A.  From October 1993, 2 adjournments and then finally
    31        beginning in 27, 1994.
    32
    33   Q.   You are talking about that time not from September 1990?
    34        A.  I am talking about the litigation is coming, it is
    35        postponed; litigation is coming, it is postponed.  In an
    36        attempt to keep my diary available, and that of other
    37        people available, I was involved in that, but that is the
    38        reference there.
    39
    40   Q.   OK.  How often were you informed about developments in the
    41        case?  Was it basically as and when it was happening or?
    42        A.  Yes, thereabouts.
    43
    44   Q.   Or just a half yearly update?
    45        A.  No, as and when it was happening.
    46
    47   Q.   Who in the Company are you referring to that had
    48        responsibility for litigation?
    49        A.  Sid Nicholson handled the case.
    50 
    51   Q.   That is just Mr. Nicholson you are referring to there? 
    52        A.  That is right. 
    53
    54   Q.   Then you say, "Additionally, as the trial got nearer, the
    55        Communications Department" kept you abreast of activities
    56        affecting that department.  Who in that department, was
    57        that Mr. Love and Miss Bensilum?
    58        A.  Mike Love, Edi Bensilum; there may have been another
    59        person.  Those are the ones I would most frequently come in
    60        contact with.
