Day 258 - 07 Jun 96 - Page 65


     
     1        stuff on 17th May 1996, which on the front was a Hackney
     2        and Islington leaflet and then there was some letters to
     3        London Greenpeace, but we were not told where they came
     4        from, which inquiry agent got them or on what dates, and
     5        things like that.  So, it would be helpful to have that
     6        information.
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  The answer to that is I do not think we know, the
     9        only way the Defendants -- if it is satisfies them to do so
    10        -- can find it out is by asking the witnesses.  If it
    11        turns out it is none of those witnesses it must be.  They
    12        are calling Miss Tiller themselves so they can ask her too.
    13
    14   MS. STEEL:  Do the Plaintiffs not know where it was disclosed
    15        from?
    16
    17   MR. RAMPTON:  No, as a matter of fact not.  One or two, I said,
    18        more than one or 2.  Unfortunately, a number of bits of
    19        paper were found in our recent trawl which we made of
    20        record and files boxes, the Defendants amendment to the
    21        Defence, to see what the state of McDonald's campaign was
    22        right up until the issue of the writ and one or two, I can
    23        only call loose, bits of paper were found.  What their
    24        provenance is I do not know.  Plainly, they are relevant
    25        documents which is why we have disclosed them.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.  What is the next?
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  The same goes for those two bits of not very
    30        -- those two pieces of paper that we brought along today.
    31        Mrs. Brinley-Codd is shaking her head, but I think it is
    32        right.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Right.
    35
    36   MS. STEEL:   The other point, a particular point, is the notes
    37        of Brian Bishop of 9th August 1990, and this is why
    38        I noticed in particular some of the names of people who are
    39        attending have been blanked out.  That is --
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  Do you have a copy of those notes?
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, if they are the ones which came through
    44        recently.
    45
    46   MS. STEEL:   Because there is 'Alan from Catford's' and then
    47        there is a big blank, and then there is Charlie in the
    48        middle of the line, and then there is another blank.
    49        Obviously, the names of people who are attending is
    50        relevant to the pleading about-- 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will take any application in relation to 
    53        that when it first comes up with a witness.  Unless
    54        Mr. Rampton says something to the contrary, if it has been
    55        blanked out I assume it is because he wishes to argue that
    56        you are not entitled to the information there.
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:   The argument is supposed to be -- well, the
    59        argument used to be that it was privileged information.
    60        The Plaintiffs have waived privilege, and waiving privilege
