1 of the fact sheet." Whether that bit is quite right or not
2 does not matter, what is important is that there is a plain
3 statement there that the site contains the London
4 Greenpeace fact sheet, is there not, and that is right, it
5 does, does it not?
6 A. Yes, I have never said that it does not. All I have
7 said is that I did not know that it contained the London
8 Greenpeace fact sheet until you brought it up in court.
9 Can I just say, what Mr. Morris says is correct about the
10 E-mail. That was sent from Albert Beale dated 10th
11 February 1996, and the printout of the fact sheet is dated
12 16th February 1996, so it cannot have been sent with the
13 E-mail.
14
15 Q. I am not suggesting it was, Miss Steel. What I am
16 suggesting is--
17
18 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I don't think that is -- I can see there are
19 different dates throughout?
20 A. This looks like something that has been printed out
21 from the computer, which is very different to an E-mail.
22
23 Q. Well, I do not know. If need be people can explain to me,
24 but the copy of the fact sheet with the time and date at
25 the bottom has the same, whatever it is called, keying in
26 code, to begin with anyway, as is given near the beginning
27 of the press release, "http: \\"?
28 A. That is just the thing you type in if you want to go
29 through any site on the Internet, you type in that thing.
30
31 Q. Yes. Then it is followed by Mcspotlight?
32 A. Yes. But Albert Beale is nothing to do with
33 Mcspotlight.
34
35 MR. RAMPTON: No, he is an old member of London Greenpeace is he
36 not?
37 A. Yes, and I dare say that he heard about Mcspotlight and
38 thought he would pass on the information about Mcspotlight
39 to other campaigners around the world.
40
41 Q. Miss Steel, I will be perfectly blunt and then I will go on
42 to something else. You and Mr. Morris knew perfectly well
43 all along, because it was what you had intended, that a
44 copy of that fact sheet should be put on to that web site
45 as soon as it had been launched?
46 A. I did not know that the fact sheet was on the site at
47 the time we launched it, and I did not know about it until
48 you brought it up in court.
49
50 Q. Right. Now, we can move on to Mr. Preston's -- actually,
51 one question before I do that. You said yesterday in
52 court, when you and I were discussing how you convert the
53 fact sheet 6-sider into a 3-sider, how you did the copying
54 and you said, "Well, it is a bit of a palava, I did it for
55 this case." Why did you do it for this case?
56 A. Because I had to give it to various people who were
57 giving us legal advice over the course of 3 or 4 years.
58
59 Q. The documents in here, which I would like you to look at,
60 are at appendix 3. First of all, I am not going to spend a
