Day 021 - 29 Jul 94 - Page 71


     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, I mean, we will try do that, but I think that
               -- I am not being funny -- it is helpful for everybody if
     2        we have a system that will be in play on the first day
              when we get back, where we update the index, or we have a
     3        system so that everyone knows where everything is.  To be
              honest, it is not intentional on our part, we have not the
     4        level of organisation of the plaintiffs and, to be honest,
              I have not even some documents that have been served by
     5        us.
 
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Just listen to me for the moment.  All
              I am asking you to do is to make a list of the additional
     7        documents which you have produced, mostly by way of papers
              or articles.  If we have Mrs. Brinley-Codd's list, if we
     8        have your list, we can put in on the right-hand side of it
              next to each item which volume and which tab it is in.
     9
              You can check through your copy volumes and make sure you
    10        have one there, that it has not been mislaid or that you
              have not just got a copy here and not one at home.  If you
    11        are short of copies, we can put that right.  If this
              continues in September with additional documents, then we
    12        will add them to the list as we go along and as each one
              is put in before we go any further, rather than doing it
    13        in the ad hoc way we have been doing it so far.  We will
              put against it again on the right-hand side which volume
    14        and which tab it has gone into.
 
    15   MS. STEEL:  Can I ask about whether there is any idea about
              which witnesses are going to be called?
    16
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  This was the only matter I wanted to raise,
    17        some kind of programme for when we resume, Mr. Rampton?
 
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I do not think it would be advisable for me to
              give anything like a confident prophecy or prediction.
    19        What is certain, as certain as anything can be when one is
              looking into the future, is that Dr. Arnott will come back
    20        on 12th September to be cross-examined.
 
    21        After that, I propose to call Professor Keen and Professor
              Walker.  Your Lordship expressed a preference for the
    22        order in which they should be called -- I cannot remember
              which it was now -- but we will try to comply with that.
    23
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I cannot remember either.  Which of those
    24        came first?
 
    25   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, I think your Lordship said you had a slight
              preference for one or the other, but I may be making that 
    26        up ----- 
  
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not think I did.
 
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  I dreamt it then.  Anyhow, those two in whichever
              order after Dr. Arnott.  Then our witnesses of fact on the
    29        nutritional issue.  Then I propose to conclude the
              recycling and waste -- yes, of course, no, the defendants'
    30        witnesses will be next after Professors Keen and Walker.
