Day 077 - 25 Jan 95 - Page 78
1 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I have maybe another five or 10 minutes.
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: On Brazil or altogether?
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: On Mr. Walker.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Would you like to complete him?
8
9 MR. RAMPTON: No, I think on the whole I would like to wait
10 until tomorrow morning, if that is all right with your
11 Lordship?
12
13 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, it seems to me, if you have finished
14 with Brazil ---
15
16 MR. RAMPTON: I have not quite; you would like me to finish with
17 Brazil?
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think it would be right to do so because
20 these documents did not arrive so very long ago and then
21 the Defendants will have time to consider the evidence
22 which has been given overnight.
23
24 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, I will do that. Then, your Lordship will
25 allow me, I will not formally sit down just in case there
26 is anything on the other topics that I have forgotten.

43 for McDonald's, what does the Weddel plant do?
