     1        time, but experience in this case has taught one that one
     2        cannot be sure about the schedule in any event; we have to
     3        take it week by week.
     4
     5   MR. MORRIS:  We will try get Geoffrey Cannon on the 20th.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, you ask Mr. Geoffrey Cannon if he could
     8        possibly come back on that day.
     9
    10   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I can guarantee he will not go beyond a
    11        day; his cross-examination will be fairly short.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The other matter is, if I take out
    14        Mr. Lobstein so that I can look at it again overnight ----
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  We have some references for Mr. Lobstein here
    17        which the Plaintiffs already have.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If I could have those overnight.  What
    20        I would like to do is hand down my volume 1, the
    21        defendants' witness statements, together with the
    22        documents you gave me this morning.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  Is that the World Health Organisation?
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  It starts off with Braden and Carroll
    27        and the other articles.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  That is the Crawford references.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Also volume IB, if someone by the time
    32        we sit in the morning can divide those two bundles up
    33        again for me in a manageable way I would be grateful.
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  What we are actually proposing to do is to make a
    36        3-bundle collection of defendants statements, putting the
    37        nutritional statements into a bundle of their own.
    38
    39   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do not forget that the bundle has to be
    40        rejigged so I can still fit all of that in the first
    41        bundle.
    42
    43   MR. RAMPTON:  Exactly, that is why we thought we would put all
    44        the nutritional statements in one bundle, transferring
    45        Dr. Barnard, who I gather is going to be a live witness,
    46        into the first bundle.
    47
    48   MR. MORRIS:  There is another matter on our witnesses.  A
    49        colleague of Richard Brown's phoned up to say that a close
    50        friend of his has died and he has a funeral on Friday when 
    51        he is due to give his evidence, that is this week.  So if 
    52        he can be released from Friday which, of course, means 
    53        that we will have to try to slot him in somewhere.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Give some thought to that.
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  But can I tell him he is released?
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If he has got a funeral he is released come
    60        what may.
