Day 200 - 12 Dec 95 - Page 27
1 Friday to deal with the things which are there. I see no
2 point in all coming back at 2 o'clock just to have 10
3 minutes of quarter of an hour on that.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: Mrs. Brinley-Codd will write to Ms. Steel about
6 that in the interim anyway, so that may well fall away.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: Can I just ask, Fiona Winter, who is the person who
9 did the two surveys in Peckham and Leeds on the diets of
10 young people -- I cannot remember now it was early on in
11 the case -- and I think that was a time when we were asking
12 for a Civil Evidence Act notice to be considered for her,
13 I believe, and we may not have formally done that, but it
14 may be, in the light of this ruling, in any case useful to
15 bring her to court. Can anybody remember whether that
16 Civil Evidence Notice was put on and whether it was
17 accepted?
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Think about that. Quite frankly, I do not
20 think it is for me to go looking to find it. You find it
21 for yourself. Ask Mrs. Brinley-Codd, if need be, or
22 Mr. Atkinson if ---
23
24 MR. MORRIS: We can certainly call her.
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- they can help. But what I would like on
27 Friday is some real help from you as to just who you want
28 back, and then the timings so that we can make, in due
29 course, some proper provision for further nutrition
30 evidence in the timetable.
31
32 MS. STEEL: The thing about Dr. Wheelock and Dr. Arnott is all
33 really I want to read through all their evidence before
34 deciding about them. Obviously, we can give an answer
35 about our witnesses, but if we could look at that over
36 Christmas rather than to make a definite decision on that?
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Come back to it on Friday. If you say that
39 you think you may want Professor Wheelock and Dr. Arnott
40 back but you want to think about it further over the
41 Christmas vacation, so be it, but certainly think about
42 your own witnesses. Professor Crawford is going to come
43 back anyway.
44
45 MS. STEEL: And we do intend to call Jane Brophey.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: And you do intend to call Jane Brophey, and
48 let me know if anything else occurs to you by Friday.

50 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, just in the three minutes remaining, your
51 Lordship did ask when it was that your Lordship said
52 something about Mr. North's further statement. It was on
53 26th September when Mr. Morris told your Lordship -- I will
54 give the transcript reference numbers because everybody has
55 them now; they are pages 12 and 13 of 26th September 1995
56 -- that he had "contacted Mr. North last night and spoken
57 to him. He had been involved in a number of court cases
58 over the last four months. He said that he apologised for
59 not having done anything, but that he would try to do
60 something by the end of October". Then I said that I was
