     2   MR. MORRIS:  I have asked him to come as early as possible, but
     3        I did not specify he should be here at 10.30.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  What I would like you to do is let
     6        Barlow Lyde & Gilbert and Mr. Glen, my clerk, know, shall
     7        we say by half past four?
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  I will try.  I cannot promise that of Mr. Baker.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, what the situation is.  If you have
    12        Mr. Baker for 10.30 tomorrow morning, we will sit at 10.30
    13        tomorrow morning.  If you have not managed to contact
    14        Mr. Baker -- if you have resolved the question of Melanie
    15        O'Riordon in favour of her coming tomorrow morning, again
    16        we will sit at 10.30 tomorrow morning.  If you have not
    17        resolved the problem over Melanie O'Riordon, and you have
    18        not contacted Mr. Baker, we will sit at 2 o'clock tomorrow
    19        and deal with Mr. Baker's evidence.  But it is only right,
    20        I think, that we should make a decision.  What is the
    21        latest -- I do not want the decision made after five
    22        o'clock this evening, Mr. Rampton.  Is that too late for
    23        your convenience or Mrs. Brinley-Codd's?
    24
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  No, it is not too late.  I have no strong feelings
    26        about it at all, except that I do not want to come to court
    27        tomorrow morning if there is not a witness.
    28
    29   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  Do you understand what I am saying?
    30        Make it by five o'clock.
    31
    32   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If we have a witness, be it Miss O'Riordon or
    35        Mr. Baker, for 10.30 tomorrow morning we will sit at
    36        10.30.  If we have not, we will sit at 2 o'clock to hear
    37        Mr. Baker, but I would like you to communicate with
    38        Mrs. Brinley-Codd ---
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  One way or the other.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- and then ring Mr. Glen, so that
    43        Mr. Rampton and Mrs. Brinley-Codd know when to come
    44        tomorrow and I know when to come into court tomorrow.
    45
    46   MS. STEEL:   Can I just say one thing?  It is not on this; it is
    47        about the judgment the other day.  On page 19 in the
    48        summary of what our arguments were, number 5, "The words
    49        across the McDonald's arches were designed merely to catch
    50        the eye and not to encourage people to read the rest of the 
    51        leaflet."  I certainly said that it was to encourage people 
    52        to read the rest of the leaflet, and I think the "not" is a 
    53        mistake, unless you think that is what I said.  But I am
    54        certain that it is not.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you have any recollection in relation to
    57        that, Mr. Rampton?
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:  No, my Lord, I am afraid I do not.  I genuinely do
    60        not.  What I can do is to -- I am not particularly keen to
