Day 274 - 04 Jul 96 - Page 44


     
     1        felt the McDonald's campaign was too specific, although of
     2        course I do agree with everything in the leaflet.  But, no,
     3        that is not true.
     4
     5   Q.   Yes.  Thank you, Miss Laporte.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would like you to--
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  It will not take more than two minutes.  I am sure
    10        it might note even take that.
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I was going to say, I would like you to
    13        complete your re-examination because I do not suppose it
    14        will take very long, and then we can adjourn until Monday
    15        morning.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  No further questions.
    18
    19                           (Witness withdrew)
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you, Miss Laporte, leave everything
    22        there.  I said we can adjourn until Monday morning.  But
    23        you indicated that you might not be calling--
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  We are not calling Charlie Brooks and Brian
    26        Moseley, no.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Right.  Thank you.  It follows, does it, that
    29        the only evidence you have got to call -- barring anything
    30        which arises out of what I said about documentation this
    31        morning or discussions we have had about documentation in
    32        the past -- are yourself, Ms. Steel and Mr. Morris?
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:  And Lord Vestey.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is the position?
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:  Mr. Morris is not calling Lord Vestey, I am only
    39        calling him.  Mr. Morris does not want to call him.
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  I am glad to withdraw my name from the subpoena,
    42        and I am going to contact his solicitors to that effect
    43        today.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is entirely up to you.  But can you--
    46
    47   MS STEEL:  I have been trying to find out when he is available.
    48        But if he does not get back with a date pretty soon -- I
    49        mean, I am not quite sure how much notice he has to have
    50        since he has had the subpoena, but I was going to say that
    51        he has to turn up some day next week.
    52
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think what you ought to do is to contact
    54        the solicitors and press them to give you a date within the
    55        next two weeks when he can come back.  Since he is coming
    56        under subpoena, it seems to me only right that we should
    57        then arrange to have him called at 10.30 one morning or 2
    58        p.m. one afternoon, even if it is in the middle of someone
    59        else's evidence.  If that can be avoided, well and good.
