Day 278 - 11 Jul 96 - Page 21
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Well, that means--
2
3 MR. RAMPTON: Got.
4
5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Whether it is the time you access it or
6 the time you, having accessed it, print out something off
7 it, it is the time you see it rather than the time it is
8 actually put on in the first place is it not?
9
10 MR. RAMPTON: That is right. And so if that is right, Miss
11 Steel, this is available five minutes after you have
12 launched the web site for the first time?
13 A. That is possible.
14
15 Q. And you still say you have no idea this was on the work
16 site?
17 A. I did not have -- this was in the middle of the trial,
18 the trial was on going, Mr. Rampton. I had witnesses to
19 prepare for, you know, everything that we had to do with
20 the court case, I think we were trying to get in an appeal
21 at this time as well, I did not have time to read every
22 single thing on the Mcspotlight site. As far as I am aware
23 from things that I have read there are thousands of pages
24 on there. You know, I don't have time to read it all. I
25 understood from the aims -- what I had seen put out by
26 Mcspotlight that their aim was to make freely available
27 accurate information about the McDonald's corporation which
28 would otherwise be kept under wraps, and that is something
29 which I support.
30
31 Q. Finally, I want to--
32
33 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Could you tell me, in the paragraph above the
34 one you read what the number is in the 6th line?
35
36 MR. RAMPTON: Where was that, my Lord? I am sorry.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Above the quote attributed to Miss Steel and
39 Mr. Morris. It says--
40
41 MR. RAMPTON: 1.5 million, my Lord.
42
43 MR. JUSTICE BELL: 1.5.
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
46 A. That is not about the fact sheet. It was taken from a
47 quote and a Mclibel thing and it is actually about all the
48 anti-McDonald's leaflets that have been produced, the A5
49 ones.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: Now I would like you, please, to look at some
52 documents which are appended -- appendixed or appended, or
53 whatever the right word is -- to Mr. Preston's second
54 statement or counterclaim statement. You will find that in
55 yellow 1, I hope.
56
57 MR. MORRIS: There is a legal question here. Mr. Rampton said
58 something about Mcspotlight being an initiative of the
59 Mclibel support campaign, or something, and then he went to
60 this document and it was not really put to the witness, or
