2 No doubt he can give bits of evidence on it, but I do not
3 mind saying in the presence of all the parties that I see
4 anything he has to contribute as very much outweighed by
5 all the factual and expert witnesses we have had on one
6 side or the other.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: Yes. What I was mainly concentrating on was
9 company documents that had not been put, or new information
10 that has come to light, and Mr. Preston may be the last
11 opportunity to deal with it.
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I raise no objection to you asking, for
14 instance: Does he still stand by the first column on page
15 21 and say "Yes" and then you can draw my attention to the
16 bits in the evidence here and there to see whether there
17 holds water or not. But I interrupted when I did because
18 I do not see it as being useful asking him about
19 nutritional quality of ----
20
21 MR. MORRIS: Accepting in as much as it may be in company
22 documents.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I do not know. If you want to seek an
25 admission, then I suggest you seek it very quickly and
26 simply and then we can pass on. It is either made or it is
27 not made because I have got to reach a conclusion on all
28 the evidence.
29
30 MR. MORRIS: Right.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It will not amount to a formal admission; it
33 will just be part of the evidence to weigh with all the
34 rest.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: I will try and get through it fairly quickly.
37
38 I do not know if Mr. Preston will be able to get from the
39 McDonald's Profile Bundle, I do not know what bundle number
40 it is.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is pink 3.
43
44 MR. MORRIS: I do not know where it was put but it is the Annual
45 Review of 1993. It was served a number of ----
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Which year is it?
48
49 MR. MORRIS: 1993.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The Annual Report with the family of 3 on the
52 front, is that it, or the review one?
53
54 MR. MORRIS: This is the UK one.
55
56 MS. STEEL: It is actually in one of our supplementary lists.
57
58 MR. MORRIS: I could just read it out if I could ask Mr. Rampton
59 to verify what I am reading is accurate.
