2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I thought you said Atkinson and I looked
3 through the front of my yellow X and did not find him.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: Yes, he is 39B, my Lord, in yellow X. I hope your
6 Lordship has a copy?
7
8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have got Duncan Paulson and I then go to
9 Sean Richards who is 39C.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: Your Lordship ought to have and no doubt, I hope,
12 had at one time Ms. Antenni's statement. She was 39A. She
13 has already given evidence. There ought to be James
14 Atkinson as well.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: She is 42.
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have Duncan Paulson as 39. Then I go to
19 Sean Richards and Rose French. Can I have, if they are not
20 marked, either Mr. Hill's or Mr. Atkinson's copy, then they
21 can have theirs replaced. I will just put it in.
22
23 MR. RAMPTON: I have a clean copy but I would like to keep that,
24 if I may. My Lord, there is an unsigned copy. (Handed)
25 My Lord, he was Manager at Marble Arch restaurant in the
26 mid 1990s, I think, when one of the Defendants' witnesses
27 under the Civil Evidence Act, Mr. Nicholas McGill, worked
28 there.
29
30 My Lord, there are a couple of applications which I have to
31 make. One I do not think is more than a sentence which is
32 to ask again for the Defendants' discovery on the
33 counterclaim -- maybe it has already been done but if so, I
34 do not know -- which is the subject of an order now out of
35 time.
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What is the position in relation to that?
38
39 MS. STEEL: I have got it here actually. I have just forgotten
40 to give it to them.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you have it -- do not bother with it now
43 -- what I suggest is when I rise you give it to Mr. Hill.
44
45 MS. STEEL: Yes, OK.
46
47 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, the other thing I have to mention at some
48 stage, whether this evening or not, I do not mind -- it is
49 entirely a matter for your Lordship -- is the question of
50 the transcripts of the uncut interviews of the people,
51 McDonald's people and others, who whether interviewed for
52 the film One Every Mile. Your Lordship remembers that it
53 arose at the end of last term. I made an application for
54 discovery of those transcripts at that time which were then
55 in the possession of Mr. Morris.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.
58
59 MR. RAMPTON: He said he felt embarrassment about it because he
60 had given an undertaking, some kind of undertaking, of
